Pierre Léonard Vander Linden (12 December 1797 – 5 April 1831) was a Belgian entomologist born in Brussels. In Italy, he studied under the botanist Antonio Bertoloni (1775–1869), the zoologist Camillo Ranzani (1775–1841) and the physician Giacomo Tommasini (1768–1846). During his studies, he worked on Odonata. In 1826 he was appointed as the first professor of zoology in Belgium, at the Musée des Sciences et Lettres in Brussels.[1]
