List of Belgians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of notable Belgian people who either:

  • are or were Belgian citizens at least for sometime in their life,
  • were born in Belgium or in the provinces of present-day Belgium, but who were not or are not Belgian citizens (either because Belgium did not exist at the time of their life or because they had or have another citizenship). The names of people of this category are italicized.

The list also comprises

  • fictional characters who are undisputedly Belgians
  • important ones whose citizenship is unknown, or not Belgian and with Belgian creators. The names of fictional characters of this category are italicized.

The same person may appear under several headings.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
