Jacques Tichelaar (Heerenveen, 2 January 1953) is a Dutch politician. For the Labour Party (PvdA) he has been a member of the Tweede Kamer since 23 may 2002.

In 1973 Tichelaar finished his HAVO and began to study at the Academy for Pedagogy in Heerenveen. In 2002 he received an honorary doctorate in business administration from the Kingston University.

Before he entered politics Tichelaar was vice-director of a grammar school, general secretary of the education labour union ABOP and chair of its successor AOB, which is affiliated with the FNV, the major Dutch federation of labour unions. Since the 2002 election he has been a member of the Second Chamber of Parliament. He concentrates his attention on education and agriculture. He is also chair of the committee for finance.

During the 2006–2007 Dutch cabinet formation Tichelar was secondant of Wouter Bos during the confidential negotiations. He was unexpectedly chosen over MPs like Nebahat Albayrak, the PvdA's second candidate on the list, because of his experience with negotiations, from his union years. Tichelaar had also spent years talking to CDA leader Maxime Verhagen about why the 2003 information talks between the two parties had failed, and understood the CDA best among MPs.
