Hildur Alice Nilson (26 January 1924 – 11 February 2014), known by her stage name Alice Babs, was a Swedish singer.
She worked in a wide number of genres – Swedish folklore, Elizabethan songs and opera.
While she was best known internationally as a jazz singer, Babs also competed as Sweden's first annual competition entrant in the Eurovision Song Contest 1958.
In 1972 she was named Sweden's Royal Court Singer, the first non-opera singer as such.
