Master Ghybe is a fictional, folkloric figure from the Belgian town of Poperinge. The figure dates back to the Middle Ages and symbolizes the competition in the cloth industry between the towns of Poperinge and Ypres. Master Ghybe mocks Ypres, Poperinge's main competitor.

An initial privilege had already been granted for Ypres on October 28, 1322, but it was insufficient. Louis I, Count of Flanders, amended this privilege for Ypres on February 7, 1324. "From then on, no cloth was to be woven, sheared, or dyed within a three-hour radius of Ypres; failure to comply resulted in a fine of 50 pounds and the confiscation of the looms."
