Pol Van Den Driessche (born 1959) is a Belgian ex-journalist, writer and politician.
Van Den Driessche joined with the Christian Democratic and Flemish party (CD&V) in 2007 and was elected as a member of the Belgian Senate in the same year. He moved to the New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) after ending his term, in 2011, and became a co-opted senator for this party in 2014.
In 2012, Van Den Driessche stood down as a candidate in the local elections in Bruges after being accused of sexual abuse. On 7 August 2014, he made the papers because he tried to edit or mitigate references to these accusations on his Dutch Misplaced Pages page. In the 2018 local elections he led the N-VA list in Bruges. He got elected as a council member, but his party suffered a big loss in the city.
