Charles Leirens (4 March 1888 – 11 April 1963) was a Belgian photographer and musician. He started giving concerts in public at the age of eight and after studying composition in college composed music for a time. During World War I he worked for the Belgian services in London. In 1928 he became the first Director-General of the Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels, creating La Maison d’Art in December 1933; cofounded the Revue Internationale de Musique (1936–1952). He also made photographic portraits of celebrated artists from the 1930s to the 1960s. He spent most of World War II in the United States, teaching, writing and exhibiting his work. After the war, he traveled as a photographer to Puerto Rico and Morocco, before returning to Belgium, remarrying and continuing to perform concerts and exhibit photographic work.
