Jane Lahilahi Young Kaʻeo (May 1813 – January 12, 1862) was a Hawaiian high chiefess and a daughter of John Young Olohana, the royal advisor of Kamehameha I.

She was born in May 1813, in Kawaihae, in the Kohala District, on the Island of Hawaiʻi. Her aging father was John Young the royal advisor of Kamehameha I, from Lancashire, England, who had been given high status and a vast tract of land. Her mother was High Chiefess Kaʻoanaʻeha, the niece of Kamehameha I. She was given the name of Jane and sometimes called Jenny Gini or "Kini", the Hawaiian version of Jane. She was raised on her father's homestead on a barren hillside overlooking Kawaihae Bay. It is now part of Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site. She grew up with her two sisters, Fanny and Grace, and her brother, John (known as "Keoni Ana"). Fanny was eldest, Grace was second, John was third, and she was the youngest. She had two elder half-brothers by her father's first marriage to Namokuelua; they were Robert and James Kanehoa. She and her siblings were hapa-haole or part Caucasian, but still considered having royal status through their mothers. She was Princess Nāhiʻenaʻena's childhood companion.

A poet, she was skilled in the old allusive figurative style of her mother's ancestors. She married Hawaiian Joshua Kaʻeo, a Judge of the Supreme Court, and great grandson of King Kalaniʻōpuʻu. Their son Peter Kaeo was born on March 4, 1836, attended the Royal School and was adopted by her brother John. Son Keliimaikai "Alebada" Kaeo was adopted by her brother James but died young in 1851, a week after his stepfather.
