Jane Marie Scott (1779–1839) was a British theatre manager, performer, and playwright.

Scott, a singing instructor, and her father, manufacturer John Scott, established the Sans Pareil Theatre (after 1819 renamed the Adelphi Theatre) in London. He built the theatre and she wrote the speeches, songs, and other entertainments which were performed at the opening on November 17, 1806.[1][2] Jane Scott offered solo entertainments of her own musical compositions. She and her father gathered a theatrical company and by 1809 the theatre was licensed for musical entertainments, pantomime, and burletta. Scott wrote more than fifty stage pieces in an array of genres: melodramas, pantomimes, farces, comic operettas, historical dramas, and adaptations, as well as translations. Given the ephemeral nature of much of this work, however, most of it has not survived: Jane Scott worked in what one critic has called "the illegitimate sphere beyond the reach of print culture."[3]

The Sans Pareil was significant in the move towards "free" theatre and away from the monopolies that dominated licensed theatre at the time. Jacky Bratton credits Scott's role in London theatre: "She had her finger on the pulse of a new world of entertainment for all, and her management of the theatre she created is important for its responsive and intelligent reading of the new audiences and the provision of exciting work for them to enjoy."[4]

Scott retired in 1819 and married John Davies Middleton (1790–1867). She lived in Surrey until her death, in 1839, aged 59 or 60, from breast cancer.
