Helina Jacomina (Jacqueline) Poelman (October 5, 1973) is a former Dutch sprinter.
Poelman was born and raised in Leek and trained at an athletics club in Roden. Her first major international tournament were the 1991 European Junior Championships in Thessaloniki where she did not reach the final on the 100 m nor the 200 m. Only a year later at the World Junior Championships she won the silver medal on the 100 m finishing second, while she became fourth on the 200 m. In the same year she was part of the Dutch 4x100 m relay team during the Olympics in Barcelona.
Poelman won the bronze medal on the 200 m at the 1994 European Championships held in Paris. For a long time this was her last international achievement.
Only in 2002 Poelman worked on her comeback after a few years without hardly any competition because she finished her study. At the European Championships however she reached the seventh position on the 200 m. During the Olympics in Athens in 2004 she was again part of the Dutch 4x100 m relay team which didn't finish because of a disqualification after a wrong change. A year later at the European Indoor Championships she won another bronze medal on the 200 m.
On September 3 2006 she ran her last race at the Arena Games in Hilversum.
