Jane Smit (born 24 December 1972) is an English former cricketer who played as a wicket-keeper and right-handed batter. She appeared in 21 Test matches, 109 One Day Internationals and 4 Twenty20 Internationals for England between 1992 and 2008 and was part of the team which regained the Ashes in 2005.[1] She played domestic cricket for East Midlands from 1989 to 1999 and Nottinghamshire from 2000 to 2017.[2]

In the 2000 Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand, Smit and Claire Taylor shared a partnership of 188* against Sri Lanka at Bert Sutcliffe Oval, Lincoln. It remains the highest fifth-wicket partnership in Women's One Day Internationals.[3]

Smit holds the record for most dismissals as wicket-keeper in Women's Cricket World Cup history (40).[4]

Her brother David represented Derbyshire Cricket Board in List A cricket between 1999 and 2002.[5]
