Jane Peterson (1876–1965) was an American artist. She was known for her impressionistic depictions of landscapes and floral still lifes. She blended traditional approaches to painting with the vanguard art of the Impressionists and Post-impressionists.
Two of her works are held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art: "Parade" (Gouache, watercolor, charcoal, and graphite on paper) and "Turkish Fountain with Garden" (from Louis C. Tiffany Estate, Oyster Bay) (1910, Oil and charcoal on canvas).
