Ralph Siegel (born 30 September 1945 in Munich) is a German record producer and songwriter.[1] He is married to the opera singer Kriemhild Jahn. He has three daughters, one of them Giulia Siegel divorced from German entrepreneur Hans Wehrmann.

Siegel is one of the most notable figures at the Eurovision Song Contest, in which he has participated with 24 songs so far, the latest being the 2015 Sammarinese entry "Chain of Lights" by Michele Perniola and Anita Simoncini.

In February 2010, it was announced by RTÉ that he would have an entry in the Irish National Final-Eurosong 2010. The song titled 'River of Silence' was performed by Lee Bradshaw. It ended in the last. He also composed 'C'était ma vie', performed by Lys Assia for representing Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest. She reached an 8th position in Swiss National Final.
