Jenny Erasmine la Cour (1849–1928) was a Danish teacher and textile artist. After attending Askov Højskole as a student, she taught there and in 1885 took charge of a house for girls undertaking teacher training. In 1888, she attended the folk high school in Åkarp, Sweden, to learn weaving and embroidery. The following year she gave courses in weaving in her home, pioneering the revival of hand weaving in Denmark. In 1886, thanks to a grant, she opened a weaving school attached to the Askov school where she taught 800 students over the next 25 years. In 1913, together with a number of colleagues, she established a weaving school in Copenhagen, Husflidsselskabets Vævestue.
