Jodie Devos (10 October 1988 – 16 June 2024) was a Belgian operatic coloratura soprano, the second-prize winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2014. Based at the Opéra-Comique in Paris from 2014, she appeared internationally, with a focus on the French repertoire such as Philine in ''Mignon'' and Ophélie in ''Hamlet'', both by Ambroise Thomas, and the title role of ''Lakmé'' by Leo Delibes. She performed as Susanna in Mozart's ''Le nozze di Figaro'', the title role of Donizetti's ''La fille du régiment'', and as Gilda in Verdi's ''Rigoletto'' at the Opéra Royal de Wallonie, Olympia in Offenbach's ''Les contes d'Hoffmann'' at the Opéra Bastille, and as Donizetti's ''Lucia di Lammermoor'' at the Grand Théâtre de Québec.

Her solo albums won her critical acclaim and awards; her first was ''Offenbach – Colorature'', a collection of coloratura arias by Jacques Offenbach on the occasion of his bicentenary, the second, ''And Love Said'', a selection of love songs, and the third, ''Bijoux perdus'', of pieces that the Belgian soprano Marie Cabel had created and performed.
