"'Jane'" is a 1979 song by Jefferson Starship from the album 'Freedom at Point Zero'. The song peaked on the 'Billboard Hot 100' at No. 14, and spent three weeks at No. 6 on the 'Cash Box' Top 100. In Canada, the song peaked at No. 13. 'Billboard Magazine' described "Jane" as "a fiery track paced by stinging guitars and some burning rhythm work." 'Cash Box' described it as "an explosive rocker, with slashing guitars."

It is one of the few songs that was performed live by both the David Freiberg-led Jefferson Starship and the Mickey Thomas-led Starship.
