Stan van den Buijs (born 8 June 1957) is a Belgian retired football player, who is most notable (or notorious) for scoring a hat-trick of own goals (three own goals) in one match while playing for Germinal Ekeren against Anderlecht in the 1994–95 season of the Belgian Jupiler League (Anderlecht won 3-2).[1][2] However, a video from ActueelTV appears to show that while he scored two own goals the third was in fact put across the line by an attacker.

On 20 February 2022, New Zealand Defender Meikayla Moore scored a perfect hat-trick of own goals in a match for New Zealand against the United States at the SheBelieves Cup, all in the first half. Meikayla Moore is the second footballer believed to have recorded a hat-trick of own goals which were not deliberate, after Stan van den Buys.
His son Dario Van den Buijs plays professionally in the Netherlands.[3]
