Björn Engels (born 15 September 1994) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Premier League club Aston Villa.

Born in Kaprijke, Belgium, Engels first played for FC Kaprijke-Bentille, FC Lembeke and Lokeren as a youth. In 2006, at the age of 12, he joined Club Brugge.

After progressing through the ranks of the academy, Engels appeared as an unused substitute, in a match against Gent on 29 October 2011, which saw Club Brugge win 5–4. On 20 September 2012, he made his professional debut in the UEFA Europa League against Girondins de Bordeaux coming on at half-time for Thibaut Van Acker. Only one minute later he scored an own goal. After the match, Engels described his Club Brugge debut as “very painful”. Having finished the 2012–13 season with one appearance, Engels signed his first professional contract with Club Brugge, agreeing a three–year deal.

Engels made his league debut on 4 August 2013 in the second game of the 2013–14 season against Oostende. He played the full game and scored the opening goal in the third minute. Club Brugge won the game with 2–1. After scoring his second against Kortrijk on 20 October 2013, Engels’ performance at the club earned him a contract extension in November 2013, which would keep him until 2017. Later in the 2013–14 season, Engels went on to score three more goals against Genk, Zulte Waregem and Lokeren. Despite being sidelined due to injury and suspension, he continued to be a first team regular and finished the 2013–14 season with 35 appearances and 5 goals in all competitions. For his performances he was nominated for the Young Professional Footballer of the Year, but lost out to Youri Tielemans.
