Jacques du Broeucq (1505 ? ? 1584,) was a sculptor and architect from Southern Netherlands.
Jacques du Broeucq is perhaps best known as the teacher of Giambologna in Antwerp.
Du Broeucq rebuilt the castle of Binche south of Brussels for Maria of Hungary, Queen-governess of the Spanish Netherlands, in 1545-49; Binche, the center of Maria's patronage, was intended to rival Fontainebleau; it was demolished by the soldiers of Henri II in 1554 (reference: R. Wellens, Jacques du Broeucq, sculpteur et architecte de la renaissance (Brussels) 1962).
