Godfried Vereycken (1558–1635) was a physician from the Habsburg Netherlands and one of the founders of the city of Antwerp's medical board.
For some years he taught philosophy at the Collège de Boncourt in Paris, while studying medicine.
In 1617, together with Lazarus Marcquis, he drafted and presented a petition to the city council of Antwerp, signed by eleven other doctors, for the establishment of a Collegium Medicum to regulate the practice of medicine and pharmacy in the city and combat the spread of quack remedies.
[2] Its effective functioning began on 12 September 1624, empowered to license and discipline doctors, inspect pharmacies, and examine the competence of surgeons, pharmacists and midwives.
Vereycken retired from medical practice around 1630 and moved to Mechelen, where his son was a councillor of the Great Council.
