List of BelgiansThis is a list of Belgian people, and more precisely of notable people who (1) were Belgian citizens at least during one period of their life, or (2) are Belgian citizens, as well as of notable people (3) 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 the last category (3) are italicized. The list also comprises (4) fictional characters who are undisputedly Belgians, and (5) important ones whose citizenship is unknown or not Belgian and with Belgian creators. The names of fictional characters of the last category (5) are italicized. The same person may appear under several headings.

TriviaIt should be noted that there is a British parlour game which challenges the participants to come up with the names of "12 famous Belgians", implicitly asserting that Belgian nationals are far less likely to be notable in the United Kingdom than those of other countries.
