Tsjalling Hiddes Halbertsma (West Frisian: [ˈtsjɔlɪŋ ˈhɪdəs ˈhɔlbǝtsma]; Dutch: Tjalling Hiddes Halbertsma [ˈtɕɑlɪŋ ˈɦɪdəs ˈɦɑlbǝrtsmaː]; 21 January 1792 – 12 December 1852) was a Dutch Frisian writer, poet and merchant, and the least well-known of the three Brothers Halbertsma. During his life he won a certain amount of fame in and around Grou, for the poems and short stories he wrote, and also because of his success as a businessman. After his death some of his literary works were collected with those of his brothers Justus and Eeltsje to be published in 1871 as the famous Rimen en Teltsjes. It was only from 1918 onwards that more of Tsjalling Halbertsma's works were added to this collection.
