Jozef Mannaerts (31 May 1923 – 23 October 2012) was a Belgian international footballer who played as a striker.

Only in 2011, a year before he died, he was named Belgian topscorer for the 1951–52 season, after a supporter calculated via a statistical office that he had scored more goals then initial winner Rik Coppens.
