Jane Maria Read (October 4, 1853 – ?) was an American poet and teacher from Massachusetts. A descendant of early colonial families, she was educated in private schools and by classical teachers, though compelled by ill health to leave before graduating. Read began publishing her poetry in 1874 in various magazines and newspapers, and a volume of her verse, Between the Centuries, and Other Poems, was published in 1887. In addition to her literary work, she was a talented artist and taught languages, mathematics, as well as drawing, painting and sketching.
