Jetty Paerl (born: 1921) is a Dutch singer, who was most famous in the 1950s and 1960s. She was married to Dutch artist Cees Bantzinger.

During the World War II, she lived in London, as the Netherlands was occupied by Nazi Germany.

In 1956 she represented the Netherlands in the first Eurovision Song Contest with the song "De Vogels Van Holland" (The Birds of Holland) written by Annie M.G. Schmidt and composed by Cor Lemaire. At the time the contest was only broadcast via radio, and only the winning song was announced.
