Edouard Léon Théodore Mesens (27 November 1903 – 13 May 1971) was a Belgian artist and writer associated with the Belgian Surrealist movement.
He was the editor of the London Bulletin (1938 - 1940) - which was the most important of the English-language Surrealist periodicals - and co-organiser of the London International Surrealist Exhibition. During the later 1930s and after the war he ran the London Gallery with Roland Penrose.
A biography of Mesens by George Melly, Don't Tell Sybil: An Intimate Memoir of E.L.T. Mesens, was published in 1997.
