- René Baeten (Herentals, Anvers, 10 de juny de 1927 – Sint-Niklaas-Waas, Flandes Oriental, 5 de juny de 1960) fou un pilot de motocròs flamenc que va guanyar el segon Campionat del Món de motocròs mai disputat, el de 1958, esdevenint així el primer belga a assolir aquest títol. Baeten es va morir a l'edat de 32 anys a causa de l'accident que patí mentre corria la primera mànega del XIII Moto Cross Internacional de Gelaagputten, a Stekene, el 5 de juny de 1960. L'accelerador de la seva Matchless es va encallar mentre davallava a tota velocitat per una forta rampa i fou aixafat per la seva pròpia moto en la caiguda subsegüent, patint fractura de crani i altres lesions que li causaren la mort mentre era a l'hospital de Sint Niklaas-Waas.
