Dirk Beheydt (born 17 October 1951) is a Belgian former football player. He used to be a striker.
Beheydt was discovered by Cercle Brugge while he was playing for then lower league side Winkel Sport. Even though there was a big level gap between the two teams, Beheydt had no trouble adjusting to the highest level of Belgian football. He scored on his debut against AS Oostende.

- 3rd most goals in the history of Cercle (only Pertry and Weber do better)
- Top league goal scorer of the team (1976, 1977, 1979, 1980, 1983)
- Player of the Year (1976,1977)
Dirk Beheydt was also capped once for Belgium. He played in an away game against Italy on 26 January 1977. Belgium lost the match 2-1.
