Nadine Beiler (born 27 May 1990) is an Austrian R&B and Pop singer, who won the 3rd season of the Austrian casting show Starmania in 2007. On 16 February 2007 she released her first single Alles was du willst. Currently, Beiler is a professional singer and songwriter based in both Vienna and Tyrol, where she lives in Innsbruck. Beiler represented Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with her entry The Secret Is Love and came 18th.

Beiler grew up in Inzing, a village in Tyrol, one of the western states of Austria. Her parents both work in the health sector, her father as a medical doctor and her mother as a masseuse.

Early on in life she started to pursue her singing, doing gigs at parties and singing at weddings. During interviews, she has recounted how her dream has been to share her music with the public since childhood, and how she has since followed her goal of both musical and acting careers.

In the summer of 2006 Beiler attended the first round of castings for the Austrian television show Starmania in the casting event in Tyrol. The quality of her singing was both well received by the jury in the first and second round. In the third pre-final round, she gained a ticket for the main show alongside the female candidate she was competing with. Only 16 years old, she was the youngest of the finalists who made through to the final 18.

In the show, Beiler performed the following songs:

On 26 January 2007 Beiler won the show in the final evening with a high voting approval of 68% of all votes cast (approximately 650,000 votes were cast by mobile phone by viewers of the show).

On 25 February Nadine Beiler won the Austrian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with her entry The Secret is Love, and represented her nation in the second semifinal in Germany. She qualified for the final, in which she ended 18th. In the split jury voting "The Secret is Love" ended in 5th place.
