Walter Schevenels (11 November 1894 – 6 March 1966) was a Belgian trade union official.
Born in Anderlecht, Schevenels' father was the secretary of the National Federation of Metal Workers, and Walter followed in his footsteps, soon becoming secretary of the union's Antwerp region.[1]
In 1929, Schevenels was selected to become deputy general secretary of the International Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU), and in 1931 he succeeded as its general secretary. He maintained a relatively low profile, opposing both fascism and communism, and focusing on ensuring the federation's survival through political and financial crises.[1]
