Erik Wijmeersch (born 23 January 1970) is a Belgian former track and field athlete who competed in sprinting events.

[2] Wijmeersch made his international debut at the 1995 IAAF World Indoor Championships, making it to the semi-finals of the 200 m competition.

[3] The following season brought major success in the form of the gold medal at the 1996 European Athletics Indoor Championships, which he won in a time of 21.04 seconds.

[3] After a curtailed 2000 season, he returned in 2001 in strong form by winning the 60 m Belgian title in a new best of 6.70 seconds.

[3] Some success did come at the event, however, as with the Belgian men's 4×100 metres relay he helped set a national record of 39.22 seconds.

He was the national champion indoors in the short sprint, but did not translate these performances to the outdoor season, in which his best outing was a third-place finish in the 100 m at the Belgian Championships.

He was the over-35 category winner of the 60 m at the World Masters Athletics Indoor Championships and claimed a 100 m individual and relay double at the European Cup 1st League.

[2] Following his retirement in 2008, he released an autobiography stated that he had used performance-enhancing drugs during his sprinting career, including testosterone-based products and erythropoietin (EPO), under the supervision of a doctor, Theo Lebon.
