Jos De Mey (Sint-Denijs-Westrem, 10 February 1928 – Ghent, 22 December 2007) was a Flemish-Belgian painter.

He frequently depicted characters of other artists — notably Magritte, M. C. Escher, and Bruegel.

Prior to his focus on painting he taught and studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. At the time of his death De Mey resided in Zomergem, Belgium.
