Olivier Claessens (born 22 December 1988 in Edegem) is a Belgian professional football player. His position on the field is forward and he is currently under contract with Belgian Tweede Klasse side FCV Dender EH.

Claessens was part of the starting eleven in RC Mechelen's cup successes against Germinal Beerschot and SV Zulte Waregem. Against Germinal Beerschot, Claessens missed an open goal from a tight angle. In the confrontation with Zulte Waregem, he saw a valid goal disallowed. He remains highly controversial for his post-match celebrations in front of the Germinal Beerschot faithful.
