Virginie (Marie) Loveling (17 May 1836 – 1 December 1923) was a Flemish author of poetry, novels, essays and children's stories.

[1] She was the younger sister of Rosalie Loveling, also an author, with whom she co-wrote the more sentimental part of her work.

After her sister's death in 1875, she wrote children's stories along with novels and essays[2] that paint a poignant picture of the era.

[1] She also co-authored Levensleer (1912), a humoristic take on Ghent's French-speaking bourgeoisie with her nephew Cyriel Buysse.

Official recognition followed with the novel Een dure eed (A Costly Oath) in 1891, which received the quinquennial prize for Dutch literature.
