"Jackie's Song" is a composition by Julian Lloyd Webber for cello and string orchestra or cello and piano, composed in 1998 'in protest at the film Hilary and Jackie' which was based on the book A Genius in the Family by Jacqueline du Pré’s sister Hilary du Pre and brother Piers.

In a letter to The Times on 20 January 1999, co-signed by Yehudi Menuhin, Itzhak Perlman, William Pleeth, Rostropovich and Pinchas Zukerman, Lloyd Webber wrote: "This is not the Jacqueline du Pré that we, as her friends and colleagues, knew. Jacqueline possessed a wonderful joy in making music, and a unique ability to bring joy to her audience. This is the Jacqueline du Pre that we remember."

"Jackie's Song" is included on Lloyd Webber's 1999 album Cello Moods.
