Heli Lääts (24 June 1932 – 16 February 2018)[1] was an Estonian singer (mezzo-soprano) whose career began in the mid-1950s.

Lääts predominantly performed estrada, chamber, pop, polka, and jazz music.

In 1950, while contemplating attending the University of Tartu to study physical education, she was singing in a mixed-choir under the direction of Joosep Aavik.

In 1958, Lääts was the first Estonian singer to win a title in a Soviet Union-wide estrada contest.
