Costen van Halmale (c. 1435–1508) was a lawyer and chronicler who served on Antwerp's city council.
He studied law at the University of Orléans, matriculating in 1457.
[1] Halmale was the initial author of a family chronicle that was continued by his son and grandson.
Known as the Annales Antwerpienses, this gave other historians an important view of family and political relations in 16th-century Antwerp.
