Jacqueline Abbott (born 10 November 1973) is an English singer who was a vocalist with The Beautiful South from 1994 to 2000, following the departure of Briana Corrigan.

Abbott was discovered by Beautiful South co-founder Paul Heaton after she and a friend met him outside a night club.

[1] Abbott left the band in 2000,[2][3] because of the pressure of touring; a busy schedule would have conflicted with her wish to concentrate on looking after her son who had been diagnosed with autism.

[1] Abbott reunited with Heaton in June 2011 to perform in his musical The 8th, while in 2013 they recorded a new album What Have We Become?

[6] In 2020, Heaton and Abbott again collaborated on Manchester Calling, their first UK number-one album.
