Filip Willem van Steenhuys or Filips Willem van Steenhuys (27 September 1593 – 1 May 1668), 1st baron of Poederlee and lord of Flers, Heerle, Gierle, Moerbeke, etc., was an office-holder in the Spanish Netherlands who served on the Great Council of Mechelen, the Council of Flanders, and the Privy Council of the Habsburg Netherlands.
[2] On 14 January 1636, he married Walburga Snoy, and became lord of Poederlee in his wife's right.
[1] They had five children: He studied law and was called to the bar at the Great Council of Mechelen.
[1] He was invested as assistant chancellor of Brabant with right of succession to Robert van Asseliers, but because he had not been born in the duchy of Brabant this appointment too proved controversial, with the States of Brabant refusing to accept his oath of office.
[1] Van Steenhuys died in Brussels on 1 May 1668 and was buried in the Dominican church there.
