Frank Ignace Georgette Vandenbroucke (Dutch: [ˈfrɑŋk fɑndə(m)ˈbrukə];[a] born 21 October 1955) is a Belgian-Flemish academic and politician of Vooruit who has been serving as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health and Social Affairs in both the De Croo government as well as the De Wever government since 2020.

At EU level, he was active in outlining the Open Method of Coordination among Member States to support the enactment of the 2000 Lisbon Strategy.

He acknowledged that he was confronted with two million francs which came as bribery money from the Italian helicopter builder Agusta.

After the 1999 Belgian general election Vandenbroucke returned to politics to become Minister of Social Affairs and Pensions[5] (1999–2003).

Although Vandenbroucke gained a large number of preference votes in his home province of Flemish Brabant, the president of his party, Caroline Gennez, chose not to give him the opportunity to continue his work as Minister, mentioning political as well as characterial dissimilarities.

At that time, Vandenbroucke remained member of the Flemish Parliament and accepted a teaching position at the University of Antwerp.

Although his party maintained its position with the outcome of the elections, Vandenbroucke gained a relatively large number of preference votes.

He has been member of the Flemish Parliament (2009) and of the Belgian Senate (2010), and was awarded by King Albert II of Belgium of the title of Minister of State (2009).
