Jane A. Delano, in full Jane Arminda Delano, (born March 12, 1862, Montour Falls, New York, U.S.—died April 15, 1919, Savenay, France), American nurse and educator who made possible the enlistment of more than 20,000 U.S. nurses for overseas duty during World War I.

Delano taught school for two years and graduated from the Bellevue Hospital School of Nursing in New York City in 1886. She became superintendent of nurses (1887–88) in Jacksonville, Florida, where she insisted on the use of mosquito netting to prevent the spread of yellow fever at a time when the mosquito was not known to be a carrier of the disease. In Bisbee, Arizona, she established a hospital for the care of miners suffering from scarlet fever.
