The Vlaamse Reus (literal translation: Flemish Giant) is an award given to a Flemish person active in sports, showing a great personality. The award's name is a wordplay on the Flemish Giant rabbit. Until 2023 the award went to the best Flemish sportsperson. The award is given every year, with the Flemish sports journalists eligible to vote for the winner.[1]

The award itself is a sculpture created by Willem Vermandere. Sabine Appelmans was the first person to win the prize. Three athletes won the prize three times: Luc Van Lierde, Kim Gevaert en Kim Clijsters.
