Philibert Mees (13 May 1929 in Mechelen – 29 June 2006 in Mechelen) was a Flemish composer and pianist. He was murdered in June 2006.

In 1952, Mees obtained a degree at the Koninklijk Conservatory, 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 Union of Belgian Composers.

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 neighbour of the musician, Tunisian Bilel Gheribi was sentenced for his murder in 2009.
