Clément Van Bogaert (4 April 1865, in Bazel – 5 May 1937, in Brussels) was a (state-)engineer and constructor, best known for the steel platform roof of the Antwerpen-Centraal railway station (sometimes also called "Central Station", and formerly named "Middenstatie"), built during the Belle Époque.

[5] In 1897, or earlier, he was promoted to chief engineer of the Belgian State-railways (Dutch: Belgische Staatsspoorwegen).

[6] After he graduated in 1878 at the "Ecole du Génie Civil" in Ghent, he started to work at the Belgian railways where his organisational skills were quickly noticed.

In 1882 he was a "fully fledged" (Dutch: volwaardige) railway engineer and head of a department of Antwerp.

[2] It has been claimed that Edouard de Rudder was not the only assistant in regards to the realisation of the platform roof.
