Jane M. Earll (born August 10, 1958) is former a Republican member of the Pennsylvania State Senate who has represented the 49th District since 1997. She announced her intention to retire from the Senate when her term expired in January 2013.

Earll served as Assistant District Attorney for Erie County, Pennsylvania and as an attorney for Richards and Associates. She is married to Erie County District Attorney Jack Daneri.

Earll is Chair of the Community, Economic & Recreational Committee, Vice Chair of the Finance Committee, and a member of the Banking & Insurance, Judiciary, Rules & Executive Nominations, and Transportation Committees.

In 2002, she was named to the PoliticsPA list of Best Dressed Legislators.

Earll won election to the Senate against Democrat Buzz Andrezewski a year after losing a countywide race for District Attorney, and in re-election bids she faced down Democrats John Paul Jones, Tony Logue, and Cindy Purvis.

She was the Republican party's nominee for Lieutenant Governor on a ticket with Mike Fisher in 2002. The Pennsylvania Report described her as "an outstanding candidate for Lieutenant Governor" and said that she was "[w]ell-liked and respected on both sides of the aisle." She and Fisher lost the election to Ed Rendell and Catherine Baker Knoll.
