List of Belgians

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of notable people who either:

  • are or were Belgian citizens during at least one period of 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.

There is an informal British parlour game, semi-jocular, which challenges the participants to come up with the names of five famous Belgians, implicitly asserting that Belgian nationals are far less likely to be notable in the United Kingdom than those of other countries. Fictional characters may or may not be allowed. Fame may be established according to arbitrary criteria such as how many other players have heard of the person or their notable achievement.
