Jelger Wiegersma (born 4 December 1981) is a Dutch Magic: The Gathering player. Though no longer a professional player, he still regularly attends Pro Tours. He won Pro Tour Seattle 2004 as a member of team Von Dutch with teammates Jeroen Remie and Kamiel Cornelissen. He also won two Grand Prix, in 2003 and 2008. In 2008, he was elected to the Magic: The Gathering Hall of Fame.

Jelger Wiegersma first played on the Pro Tour in the 1998–99 season at Pro Tour New York. Despite a strong finish at Pro Tour Chicago, missing the top eight only on tiebreakers, Wiegersma was unable to establish himself on the Pro Tour in the season following his debut. In the season after that Wiegersma got his first taste of success. He played all but one of the Pro Tours that year, and made the top four of Grand Prix Turin with teammates Kamiel Cornelissen and Tom van de Logt.

In 2001–02 Wiegersma managed to make the top eight of a Pro Tour for the first time. At Pro Tour New Orleans he reached the semifinals before losing to Tomi Walamies for a third-place finish. To follow up on this performance, Wiegersma made the top eight of three Grand Prix, in Lisbon, Heidelberg, and Naples, that season.
