Foeke Booy (born 25 April 1962) is a Dutch former professional footballer player and manager who is the head of scouting for Eerste Divisie club Almere City. A forward during a sixteen-year playing career in the Netherlands and Belgium, he is best known for his successful managerial spell at Utrecht, where he won back-to-back KNVB Cups and the Johan Cruyff Shield between 2003 and 2004.

Booy began his career with hometown club Cambuur before playing for De Graafschap, PEC Zwolle and Groningen. He later spent five seasons in Belgium with Kortrijk, Club Brugge and Gent, winning two league titles and the Belgian Cup with Club Brugge, before finishing his career at Utrecht.

After retiring in 1996, Booy moved into coaching at Utrecht, progressing from youth roles to head coach in 2002. He subsequently managed Al-Nassr, Sparta Rotterdam, Cercle Brugge and Go Ahead Eagles, and later held senior technical positions at Cambuur and Almere City.
