Wout Felix Lina Faes ([ˈʋʌutˈfaːs]; born 3 April 1998) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as centre-back for EFL Championship club Leicester City and the Belgium national team.
A promising talent from the Anderlecht academy, Faes was sent on loan with Heerenveen and Excelsior in the Eredivisie, but never experienced his breakthrough with Anderlecht. As a result, he moved to Oostende, where he was able to grow into a solid starter. In January 2020, Faes was signed by Ligue 1 club Reims and was sent back on loan to Oostende for the rest of the season. He subsequently joined Leicester City in 2022.
Faes represented Belgium in youth levels, where he gained attention as the captain of Belgian national youth teams. He made his senior debut for Belgium in 2022 and was part of Belgium's squad in 2022 FIFA World Cup.
