Frans Van Dijk (11 October 1853, Berchem – 20 February 1939, Merksem)[1] was a Belgian architect. He was an important representative of eclecticism in architecture.
He designed the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp, the Saint Michael and Saint Peter's Church and a group of six villas in Cogels-Osylei and surroundings of Antwerp. Van Dijk also renovated the Spaengien and rebuilt the De Spieghel and Den Arend on Antwerp's Grote Markt.
Frans Van Dijk and his son Henri (also an architect) are buried in the Antwerp cemetery of Schoonselhof in Hoboken.
