Professor Van Helsing, also spelled "Von Helsing", is a fictional occult scholar and a key figure in the original 1897 Dracula novel by author Bram Stoker.

In George Melford's Spanish iteration of Drácula, the role of Van Helsing was played by Eduardo Arozamena. Van Sloan reprised the role of Van Helsing for the original film's 1936 sequel, Dracula's Daughter.
