佛拉蒙人(荷蘭語:Vlamingen),亦可翻譯為佛蘭德人、佛萊明人、弗蘭德斯人、法蘭德斯人,是比利時的兩大主要民族之一,佔比利時人口中大多數(約60%),屬於日耳曼的一個分支,和大多數歐洲國家一樣被分類為歐羅巴人種[5]。
佛拉蒙人目前的居住地也是在比利時的法蘭德斯地區,在比利時剛剛建國時宣稱其弗拉芒語是一種獨立語言,但現在被證實為是一種比利時口音的荷蘭語,屬印歐語系日耳曼語族,而比利時另一大民族為瓦隆人,他們同樣使用帶有比利時口音的法語。佛拉蒙人的族源與現在荷蘭人基本相同,語言和人種相差不大,主要由弗里斯蘭人、法蘭克人、撒克遜人等古代日耳曼部落和凱爾特人結合而成。歷史上,於中世紀時所有居住在佛蘭德伯國的人,不論使用何種語言都可以稱為佛拉蒙人。[6]現今的法蘭德斯地區由佛蘭德伯國的一部份以及中世紀的布拉班特公國及洛恩伯國所組成。

Dutch: Flanders' 6.079 million inhabitants and about 15% of Brussels' 1.019 million are 6.23 million or 59.3% of the 10.511 million inhabitants of Belgium (2006); German: 70,400 in the German-speaking Community (which has language facilities for its less than 5% French-speakers), and an estimated 20,000–25,000 speakers of German in the Walloon Region outside the geographical boundaries of their official Community, or 0.9%; French: in the latter area as well as mainly in the rest of Wallonia (3.414 - 0.093 = 3.321 million) and 85% of the Brussels inhabitants (0.866 million) thus 4.187 million or 39.8%; together indeed 100%
