The Loss of the Jane Vosper (also written as The Loss of the 'Jane Vosper') is a 1936 detective novel by Freeman Wills Crofts.^[1] It is the fourteenth in his series of novels featuring Inspector French, a Scotland Yard detective of the Golden Age known for his thorough technique. It particularly dwells on the process of police procedure.^[2]

Comparing the novel to Margery Allingham's latest release Flowers for the Judge in his review for The Spectator, Cecil Day-Lewis writing under his pen name of Nicholas Blake commented "Mr. Crofts’s new book is excellent too. The loss at sea of the “Jane Vosper”, holed by mysterious explosions in the cargo, is so vividly described, indeed, that the sequel seems a little flat"
