Saar Janssen (born 22 July 2005) is a Belgian footballer. She plays as a defender for Oud-Heverlee Leuven in the Belgian Women's Super League.
Janssen helped OH Leuven to back-to-back runners-up places in the Super League in 2022-23 and 2023-24 as Anderlecht took the title both times, completing a seven-in-a-row.
Janssen made her debut for the Belgium senior national women's team, the Red Flames, on 4 June 2024, coming on as a substitute for Janice Cayman in a 1-1 home draw against the Czech Republic in a UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifier at the Stayen in Sint-Truiden.[3][4]
She was handed her first senior starts for Belgium by national team coach Ives Serneels for both legs of the Euro 2025 play-off semi-final against Greece, drawing 0-0 in Athens, winning the return 5-0 at her home ground Den Dreef in Leuven.[5]
