Jeanne Mance (November 12, 1606 – June 18, 1673) was a French settler in Montreal.
She was born in Langres, in eastern France. She came to Canada with Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve in 1641 with the intent of organizing a hospital, and so is considered one of the founders of Montreal. The Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal, the first hospital in North America, was completed in 1645.
