Edouard-Christophe Pynaert (May 29, 1835 - October 28, 1900) was a Belgian botanist and horticulturalist who was a native of Ghent. He was a specialist in the field of pomology.
He studied at a local gardening school, and from 1861 was a professor at the Ecole d'horticulture at Gentbrugge. He has a number of botanical species named after him, including Anubias pynaertii, a plant from tropical Africa that is sometimes used in paludariums.
He was co-editor of several periodicals, including Flore des Serres et des Jardins, Revue de l'Horticulture Belge and the Bulletin d'Arboriculture.
