Jane Derby (May 17, 1895 – August 7, 1965) was an American fashion designer. Born Jeanette Fleming Barr in Rocky Mount, Virginia in 1895, Derby first worked as an apprentice designer before opening her own business in 1936 in New York. She later opened Jane Derby, Inc., in 1938, which she ran continuously until her death in 1965 (with the exception of during World War II). She was one of the first fashion designers to show the short dinner dress. In 1951 she received the Winnie award of the Coty American Fashion Critics' Awards.
