Jeanne Hebbelynck (née Dutry, June 20, 1891 - May 8, 1959) was a Belgian artist, children's book illustrator, and designer whose major themes were Roman Catholicism and childhood. She was made a chevalier Order of the Crown (Belgium) on November 14, 1936.

Her children with Léon Hebbelynck (1878-1951) were Jacques (1915-2003), Martine (1920-1942) and Geneviève (1923).

Hebbelynck's extensive works were published primarily in French, but some were also translated into Flemish and English.
