Jacques Hustin (15 March 1940 – 6 April 2009) was a Belgian singer-songwriter and artist who was successful in his homeland in both fields, and is best known internationally for his participation in the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest.
He imposed himself on the scene where well-known singers were also performing during the festival: Los Machucambos, Hugues Aufray, Caterina Caselli, Edita Piekha, Amália Rodrigues, Rika Zarai, Rita Pavone, Maria Mitiieva, Bobby Solo, Jean-Claude Pascal.
In 1978, Hustin took part in the Belgian Eurovision selection for a second time, but on that occasion his song "L'an 2000 c'est demain" ("The Year 2000 is Tomorrow") lost out to "L'amour ça fait chanter la vie" by Jean Vallée (which went on to finish second in the 1978 contest, Belgium's highest placing to that date).

Hustin continued recording and performing until the late 1980s, when he decided to bring his musical career to a close in order to concentrate on painting.
