Michel Sintzoff (12 August 1938 – 28 November 2010)^[1] was a Belgian mathematician and computer scientist.^[2]

He was one of the editors of the Revised Report on the Algorithmic Language Algol 68.

He was a member of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) IFIP Working Group 2.1 on Algorithmic Languages and Calculi,^[3] which specified, maintains, and supports the programming languages ALGOL 60 and ALGOL 68.^[4]

He was also a member of IFIP Working Group 2.3 on Programming Methodology, of which he was chairperson from 2003 to 2006.^[5]

In 1981, he founded the journal Science of Computer Programming. Until 1999, he was editor-in-chief.^[2]
