Your question is very subjective - people have different interests and focuses. As a student of history, Henri Pirenne is very well know to me, but not to many others. To a sports fan, the two cyclists would be obvious, but not to me!

I found a few for you below, and the website contains many more.

Etienne de Wilde - Men's Track Cycling - SILVER medal at 2000 Olympics

Matthew Gilmore - Men's Track Cycling - SILVER medal at 2000 Olympics

Lambert Adolphe Quetelet - mathematician and inventor of the Body Mass Index

Henri Pirenne - historian, well-known for his Pirenne Thesis

Quentin Matsys - Flemish painter who founded the Antwerp school

Willy Claes - ex-NATO Secretary-General
