Biographie Nationale de Belgique

The Biographie Nationale de Belgique is the biographical dictionary of Belgium and its predecessor states, published in 44 volumes between 1866 and 1986.

Since 1964 a parallel national biography in Dutch, the Nationaal Biografisch Woordenboek, with more emphasis on figures important to Flemish history and culture, has been published by the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts (with the co-operation of the Royal Academy of Dutch language and literature and the Royal Academy of Medicine of Belgium).

A continuation in French, the Nouvelle Biographie Nationale, has been published by the Royal Academy of Science, Letters and Fine Arts of Belgium since 1988.
