'''Jane Timbury''' (date of birth unknown, died c. 1792), was an English novelist and poet whose books were published between 1770 and 1791.
Her novel ''The Male-coquette'' (1770) appeared anonymously, but was republished in 1788 as ''The Male Coquet'' with Timbury’s name added to the title page.<ref>Madeleine Blondel, "Eighteenth-Century Novels Transformed: Pirates and Publishers" in ''The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America'',

Timbury’s ''The story of Le Fevre, from the works of Mr. Sterne'' (1787) attempted to increase the drama of [[Laurence Sterne]]'s work by putting it into verse, but has been judged to “contort Tristram’s spontaneous profession of whimsicality into pedestrian metre and verse”.<ref> Mary-Celine Newbould, ''Adaptations of Laurence Sterne's Fiction: Sterneana, 1760–1840'' (Routledge, 2016), [https://ift.tt/3gfO6xG p. 87]</ref> Her book of verse, ''The History of Tobit'', self-published in 1787, included a long list of subscribers, among whom were [[Samuel Arnold (composer)|Samuel Arnold]] and [[Jeremy Bentham]].
