Karel Aeneas Jacobus de Croeser (Charles-Enée-Jacques de Croeser) (14 July 1746 — 22 January 1828) was Mayor of Bruges (Brugge) between 1803 and 1813, and again between 1817 and 1827. He was the first person to be elected the post of Mayor after the contentious establishment of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815. He was previously known as a poet and genealogist.[1][2]
