Madeline de Jesús Candelaria (born November 4, 1957, in Brooklyn, New York) is a retired female track and field athlete from Puerto Rico, who competed in the women's long jump and triple jump during her career.

Her personal best (6.96 metres) in the long jump was set on July 24, 1988, in Mexico City.

Madeline is currently living in Belgium where she's active as a sports teacher and coach.

After Puerto Rico's Madeline de Jesus got injured while competing in the long jump, she was unable to run in the 4×400-meter relay at the 1984 Los Angeles Games.

She came up with a plan and enlisted her identical twin sister, Margaret, as an imposter for a qualifying heat.
