Georges-Jacques Aelsters (1770 – April 11, 1849) was a carilloneur and composer from Ghent.

He was born into a musical family at Ghent. He was carilloneur of that town from 1788 to 1839. He was also for fifty years director of the music at the St. Martin's Church, and composer of much church music still performed well after his death in Flanders, especially a Miserere.
