Jane Verin (née Reeves; c. 1610s – after 1640) was an early settler of Providence in New England (present-day Providence, Rhode Island). In a 1638 Providence town meeting the assembly disenfranchised her husband, Joshua Verin, for preventing her from attending religious meetings, marking the first recorded instance in the colonies in which a woman's freedom of conscience was legally recognized as independent of her spouse's authority. The decision influenced the language of the 1640 Providence Combination, which explicitly affirmed "liberty of conscience."
