Melle Weersma (January 22, 1908 – September 14, 1988) was a notable Dutch composer, arranger, and bandleader, recognized for his contributions to jazz, light music, and symphonic styles. Born in Harlingen, Weersma began his musical career in the late 1920s with The Electorians and continued in the early 1930s with Juan Lossas and Bobby 't Sas. He expanded his career in Berlin as a film score arranger between late 1931 and early 1932.

In 1934, Weersma founded his own ensemble, the Red, White and Blue Aces, though it was short-lived. By early 1935, he was working with Jack Hylton in London before moving to Chicago, where he arranged music for prominent figures such as Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Andre Kostelanetz. Returning to England in 1936, he became an arranger for Henry Hall at the BBC.

Weersma's career took him to Argentina in 1938, where he collaborated with dance bands and radio programs, and wrote the successful song "Penny Serenade," recorded by Nat Gonella. He also composed the music for Argentina's first animated color short, "Upa en apuros," in 1942. During World War II, Weersma served in the United States Navy and later returned to Argentina, composing works like "Criollo Suite" and "Peruvian Waltz (Gaviota)."

In 1954, Weersma returned to the Netherlands, where he continued his work in the radio and records industries until his death in Putten in 1988.
