Philibert Mees (Mechelen, 13 May 1929– Mechelen, 2 July 2006) was a Flemish composer and pianist. He was murdered in July 2006.
In 1952, Mees obtained a degree at the Koninklijk Vlaams Conservatorium, the royal conservatory of Antwerp. He studied under the pianists Stevan Bergmann and Geza Anda.
Mees formed a duo with BRT violist Roger Nauwelaers since the 1980s. In 1999, Mees was given the trophy Fuga, a prize handed out by the Belgian national composers union.
Mees was killed in his home in Mechelen in July 2006; he was killed by two knife cuts to his chest, was rolled up in a bed cover and plastic, and hidden under his bed. Two days later, a suspect of foreign descent was apprehended by police, after investigation of the phone records of Mees. The twenty-year-old suspect would confess to the killing on July 13.
