Jean Baptiste Dockx (24 May 1941 – 15 January 2002) was a Belgian international footballer. He played for Mechelen, Racing White and Anderlecht, and also for the Belgium national team in the 1970 FIFA World Cup and the 1972 UEFA European Football Championship. He was later a manager, and was caretaker manager of Anderlecht in 1999.

On 15 January 2002, Dockx died unexpectedly at the age of 60 from a traumatic aortic rupture.[1] Anderlecht paid a lot of attention to his death and praised him as one of the most valuable players the club had ever had.[citation needed]

In 2005 he was nominated for the title De Grootste Belg (The Greatest Belgian), but did not make it to the final nomination list. He ended up in place 401 of those who fell outside the final nomination list.[2]
