Esther Galil (Hebrew: אסתר גליל, Arabic: استير الجليل; born May 28, 1945) is a Morocco-born, Los Angeles–based French and Israeli singer and painter. Her song "Le jour se lève" was Number 1 in France for four weeks in September 1971.

In December 1972, Galil noted with regret the excessive European influence on the culture of Brazil.
