"Jerat Percintaan" (in English: "Love Snare" or "Love Trap") is the first single and award-winning song performed by Malaysian pop singer Siti Nurhaliza. It earned the Best Song award at the Anugerah Industri Muzik in 1997.

The song also previously won Best Performance, Ballad Song Champion as well as Song Champion awards at the Anugerah Juara Lagu in 1996. During this competition, Siti was against strong competitors which already have their own recognition in Malaysian music industry like Ziana Zain and Fauziah Latiff. Anugerah Juara Lagu is a prestigious competition held by TV3 that day and up until now the TV station still hold such competition in recognition of all composers and lyricist in Malaysia.

The melody to "Jerat Percintaan" was composed by Adnan Abu Hassan and lyrics written by Othman Zainuddin and Hani M.J. "Jerat Percintaan" remains as Siti Nurhaliza's signature song and one of the best Malay songs of all time and became the benchmark of her stardom in Malaysian music industry in the late 1990s and beyond.

The lyrics of the song was written by Othman Zainuddin and Hani MJ (English translation is provided).

Dalam pertemuan ini
Kita terperangkap sudah
Dalam jerat percintaan
Yang tidak disangkakan

Aku telah jadi lupa siapa diriku ini
Engkau juga dihanyutkan
Oleh arus percintaan mu

Tapi pabila aku sedar diri siapakah aku ini
Aku tertanya sendiri apakah akan terjadi

Oh apakah kita kan teruskan
Di dalam arus percintaan
Perlukah kita untuk berkorban
Demi pertahankan kebahagian

Dalam persimpangan ini
Ku masih terus menanti
Dalam rasa keharuan
Di manakah akhirnya

In this meeting
We are already caught
In the trap of love
That was not expected

I have forgotten who I am
You are also being swept away
By your waves of love

But when I became aware who I am
I asked to myself what would happen

O would we continue
Inside the wave of love
Do we need to sacrifice
For the sake of defending our happiness

At this crossroad
I am still waiting
Feeling touched within
Where would it end
