Jacqueline van Rysselberghe Herrera[a] (born 3 February 1965) is a Chilean psychiatrist and politician.

[4] Her great grandfather was Max van Rysselberghe, an engineer who left Belgium when he was about 20 years old on what was originally planned to be a six-month-long scientific expedition to Antarctica.

During the first year, plans to return to Europe were abandoned when the ice in the waterways failed to thaw during the summer.

[3] On 23 January 2017 an investigative report published by the news agency Ciper Chile disclosed a series of email exchanges which had happened in 2014 between Jacqueline van Rysselberghe and Luis Felipe Moncada, President of ASIPES (Fishing Industry Association of the Bío Bío Region) while she was presiding the Senate Fishing Committee.

In those emails, Moncada gave explicit instructions to the Senator on how to act in the committee, including clauses to put in the law.
