Miguel Janssen (born 5 September 1970 in Oranjestad) is a retired Dutch-Aruban athlete who competed in sprinting events.[3] He represented Aruba at the 1996 Summer Olympics, as well as three outdoor and three indoor World Championships. He later switched allegiance to the Netherlands on 2 August 1998[2] but did not represent that country at any major competition. Janssen still holds Aruban records on several distances. In addition, he is a former Dutch record holder in the 60 metres indoors and 200 metres outdoors.
His father Harry Janssen was a Dutch middle-distance runner and president of the Aruba Athletic Federation while his mother Ciska Janssen was a Dutch long jumper.[1]
