Guy Vanhengel (born 10 June 1958) is a Flemish politician for the Flemish Liberals and Democrats (VLD).
Vanhengel graduated (1979) as a teacher and taught class until 1981. After his army service (1981–1982) he started working as a spokesperson to the then secretary of state Annemie Neyts. A few years later, when Guy Verhofstadt first became the party leader for the liberals, he moved on to spokesperson of the party PVV (1984–1985). When Verhofstadt is called to become vice-premier he takes Vanhengel with him to work on his staff (1985–1988). In 1988 Guy Vanhengel became manager of Tourism Flanders and was then sent on secondment with the cabinet of Patrick Dewael who held the office of minister of Cultural Affairs (1988–1989). From 1989 to 1995 Vanhengel returned to being party spokesperson of the PVV (later VLD).
In 1995 Vanhengel turned member of the Brussels Parliament, later to become minister in the Brussels government (2000) annex minister in the Flemish Community Commission - Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie and the Common Community Commission -Gemeenschappelijke Gemeenschapscommissie.
When Bert Anciaux left the Flemish Government it was imperative that someone from Brussels took over. Vanhengel was the man for the job and for a couple of months (2002–2003)held a post in both the Brussels and the Flemish Government.
In July 2009 Vanhengel became "vice-premier minister" and minister of budget in de Federal Belgian Government.
