Philips Erard van der Noot (1638–1730) was the 13th Bishop of Ghent.

He was born in Ukkel on 6 February 1638 as the eldest son of Gilles van der Noot, Lord of Carloo. He was a relative of the Marquess of Assche. His brother, Roger-Wauthier van der Noot, 1st Baron of Carloo was Mayor of Brussels.

Career

After his ordination, he was made a canon and eventually became Archpriest of the Chapter of St. Rumbold's Cathedral in Mechelen. He was created bishop of Ghent after royal permission of the king of Spain.
