Connie Kaldor (born Constance Isabelle Kaldor in Regina, Saskatchewan on 9 May 1953) is a Canadian contemporary folk singer/songwriter. She graduated from Campbell Collegiate in Regina in 1972 and the University of Alberta in 1976 with a degree in theatre. She performed with various theatre groups until 1979, when she gave it up to start a full-time music career. In 1981, she founded her own independent record label, Coyote Entertainment, and has released nine albums. She has won the Juno Award for best children's album three times, in 1989, 2004, and 2005, though most of her music is for adults. She co-wrote the theme song for the animated television series based on the comic strip For Better or For Worse, which debuted in 2000. She is married to music producer and Hart-Rouge member Paul Campagne, and lives in Montreal.

Her song "Wanderlust" was covered by Cosy Sheridan.

In 2006, she was made a Member of the Order of Canada.[1]
