Tessa Wullaert (born 19 March 1993) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Inter Milan and the Belgium national team, where she has amassed the second-highest number of caps for her country ever. She is her country's highest goalscorer of all-time in women's international football with 93 goals, and also holds the absolute goalscoring national record having scored more than Romelu Lukaku. Wullaert has won league titles in Belgium and Germany, plus the English FA Cup.
Wullaert played in Belgium's only two appearances at the Women's European Championships, their group stage exit at Euro 2017 where she netted in a 2–1 loss to the Netherlands, and the Red Flames' subsequent run to quarter-finals at Euro 2022, where she did not score but did help Belgium out of their group for the first time ever.
In their second appearance at the continental finals, the Red Flames finished second in Group D behind group favourites France, against whom they conceded a narrow defeat (1–2), but ahead of Iceland with a 1–1 draw and Italy, who they edged out 1–0. Belgium lost 1–0 to Sweden in the quarter-finals.

At the start of 2022, Wullaert was named in the Belgium squad for the Pinatar Cup friendly tournament in Spain but had to pull out through injury. Belgium went on to win the tournament for the first time, beating Russia on penalties after a 0–0 draw.

Wullaert's two goals against Greece in the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying play-off semi-final second leg on 29 October 2024 saw her reach 85 goals for her country, matching Romelu Lukaku's men's record to become the joint-highlest goalscorer ever for any Belgiam senior national football team.
This record came in her 137th appearance for the Red Flames, with only Janice Cayman amassing more caps (153).
Wullaert took custody of the Belgian outscoring senior reconrd again when she netted her 86th goal for the Red Flames in their 2–0 Euro 2025 play-off final first-leg win away to Ukraine on 29 November 2024, scoring the clincher in the second-leg for a 2–1 win on the night, qualifying 4–1 on aggregate.
On 11 June 2025, Wullaert was called up to the Belgium squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025.
Among Wullaert's record national haul of 93 goals, Wullaert has scored eight hat-tricks in her international career, including a five-goal haul in a 19–0 Women's World Cup qualifier against Armenia in 2021 and four against Greece in another qualifier in 2015.
