陳桂英（1948生），廣播歌仔戲藝人。出生於高雄。周歲時因高燒罹患小兒麻痺，以致不良於行。後因緣際會拜許南舟為師，走上傳統藝術之路。1964年隨其師開始走唱生涯；1965年隨宋伯學藝，後隨之到鳳鳴電台演唱，開啟她廣播歌仔戲的生涯，《殺子報》、《義僕救子》、《萬飛龍大破青竹寺》、《秦世美反奸》等為拿手劇目。由於陳桂英一人可飾生旦淨丑，聲腔唸白維妙維肖，唱腔又多變圓潤，深受觀眾喜愛。她對於歌仔戲的傳承更是不遺餘力，1989年高雄市楠梓國中成立了歌仔戲社團，便開始於楠梓國中、五權、七權國小、高雄女中、三信家商以及高雄師大歌仔戲社團擔任聲腔指導老師，1994-1998年，擔任高雄市教育局暑期舉辦的歌仔戲教師研習營之指導老師，於歌仔戲的薪傳工作上不遺餘力。
