François Victor Marie Ghislain Schollaert (19 August 1851–29 June 1917) was a Belgian Catholic Party politician.
Born in Wilsele, Schollaert trained as a lawyer and practiced in Leuven. He served as head of the Flemish farmer's union, the Boerenbond. He sat in the Belgian Chamber of People's Representatives from 1888 onwards, holding the office of President of the Chamber from 1901 to 1908, and from 1911 until his death.
On Jules de Trooz's sudden death, Schollaert replaced him to become the 19th Prime Minister of Belgium, also holding the Interior and Agriculture portfolios from 1908 to 1910, and the Arts and Science portfolio from 1910 to 1911.
