Brecht Emiel Dejaegere (born 29 May 1991) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Kortrijk.
Starting his career with Kortrijk, Dejaegere moved to Gent in 2013, helping them to the 2014-15 Belgian Pro League title, and a subsequent last-16 run in the UEFA Champions League.
A move to Toulouse FC saw Dejaegere quickly appointed captain, helping them to the Ligue 2 title in 2022, claiming a landmark French Cup success the following year.
