Jennifer Tallulah "Jenny" Humphrey is one of the characters in both the Gossip Girl and The It Girl series of novels by Cecily von Ziegesar. She is portrayed by Taylor Momsen in the Gossip Girl television adaptation on The CW.

Jennifer Humphrey is the daughter of Rufus Humphrey, an editor for beat poets who has never been published himself, and Jeanette Humphrey, who ran off with a European . She has an older brother, Dan Humphrey, who is an aspiring writer. Jenny is a student at the Constance Billard School for Girls, a small, elite, all-girls school located on the Upper East Side, which Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf also attend. In the book series, Jenny Humphrey is described as a short, well endowed brunette while the television show depicts her as tall, skinny and blonde.

In the Gossip Girl prequel It Had To Be You, Jenny is noted for having a rather flat chest until she begins taking breast enlargement supplements, which turns out are the cause of her double D cup size.

Jenny is the protagonist in the book series, The It Girl, which shows her new life, after she gets expelled from Constance Billard, and starts at Waverly Academy in upstate New York. In The It Girl, Jenny tries to reinvent herself as a "popular and sophisticated city girl" and leave behind the person she was at Constance. When Jenny arrives at Waverly, she finds the students even more attractive, athletic, and intimidating than she imagined. Jenny then meets her two new exceptionally beautiful and popular Junior year roommates: lithe and blonde Southern girl Callie Vernon, and red-headed, green eyed, and sophisticated New Jerseyan Brett Messerschmidt. She quickly learns that she has replaced their old best friend: extremely attractive and notorious Tinsley Carmichael. Jenny can't help but feel that sleeping in such a lucky bed must rub off.
