André Ruyters (1876–1952), surname also as Ruijters in line with Dutch orthography, or Ruÿters, was a Belgian novelist and poet writing in French, and banker. In France during the 1890s and the first decade of the 20th century he was a figure of the literary world, and close friend and correspondent of André Gide. He was one of the founding group of the ''Nouvelle Revue Française''. His French translation of Joseph Conrad's ''Heart of Darkness'', published from 1924 in the ''Revue des Deux Mondes'', was influential from the point of view of Francophone reception of Conrad.
