Gied Jaspars (6 July 1939 – 14 February 1996) was a Dutch television maker who gained prominence in the 1960s and 1970s making progressive and controversial TV shows for the VPRO; he is well known for his collaboration with writer and director Wim T. Schippers.

[11] In 1981-1982 he produced and narrated a series of segments that closed the day's shows, in collaboration with the nature preservation society Natuurmonumenten.

[3] After his television career he was active as a business man selling inventions, developing a storage system (with Samuel Meyering), the Rolykit, which made him almost a millionaire.

A lifelong lover of nature and an avid walker, at age 50 he turned himself into a storyteller, making radio shows for the VPRO about his fascination with nature and his youth in Limburg; he is praised for his narrative talent and poetic style,[2] displayed also in the 1992-1993 eight-part series Ontmoetingen in de natuur in which Jaspars recounted episodes from his childhood,[1][12] followed by an eight-part series in 1994, Gied Jaspars vertelt.

[3][15] He spoke at length on his passion for the outdoors and his love of Dutch landscape in an interview with Frank Flippo in the walkers magazine Te Voet six months before he died.
