Jacqui Poncelet (born 1947), also known as Jacqueline Poncelet, is a Belgian artist. Poncelet began her art career as a ceramist in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 1980s, her practice expanded to include painting, sculpture and public art.
Her 2012 public artwork Wrapper can be seen at the Edgware Road (Circle line) Tube station in London. Art on the Underground commissioned Poncelet to produce designs for the of vitreous enamel cladding that would become the outer shell of a new substation connected to the station. The work was unveiled in November 2012, a mosaic of 700 decorated panels of various patterns inspired by local history. Poncelet's other large-scale public works include a terrazzo dado for an Edinburgh International Festival building, and decorative vinyl for windows in the heart centre at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Headington, Oxford.
In 2016, Poncelet won the Freelands Award, a prize that enables a British arts organisation to present an exhibition by a female artist who "may not yet have received the acclaim or public recognition that her work deserves". Her work was consequently displayed in a major retrospective by the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art in early 2024.
