Jane Relf (born 7 March 1947) is a British singer and the younger sister of Keith Relf of the Yardbirds.

Keith Relf and drummer Jim McCarty left the Yardbirds in 1968 as that band was transitioning into the New Yardbirds and finally Led Zeppelin. In early 1969 Keith Relf formed Renaissance with McCarty and two other musicians, and Jane Relf on vocals. The Relfs and McCarty left Renaissance in 1970.

At the time of his death in 1976, Keith Relf was in the process of re-forming the original lineup of Renaissance, including Jane. Following Keith's accidental death by electrocution, Jane and the other surviving original members of Renaissance proceeded with the project and formed Illusion, with Jane and McCarty as lead vocalists. Illusion recorded two albums before dissolving in 1979.

Since the dissolution of Illusion, Jane Relf has sung on various McCarty-led projects including Stairway and .

Jane has released one solo single "Without a Song From You" b/w "Make My Time Pass By" in 1971 and also recorded a promotional single "The Fishermen" for Findus Frozen Foods.
