'''Jane Spencer-Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough''' (29 March 1798 – 12 October 1844), formerly Lady Jane Stewart, was the first wife of [[George Spencer-Churchill, 6th Duke of Marlborough]].

Jane was the daughter of [[George Stewart, 8th Earl of Galloway]], and his wife, [[Jane Stewart, Countess of Galloway|the former Lady Jane Paget,<ref>G.E. Cokayne; with Vicary Gibbs, H.A. Doubleday, Geoffrey H. White, Duncan Warrand and Lord Howard de Walden, editors, The Complete Peerage of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain and the United Kingdom, Extant, Extinct or Dormant, new ed., 13 volumes in 14 (1910-1959; reprint in 6 volumes, Gloucester, U.K.: Alan Sutton Publishing, 2000), volume VIII, page 501.</ref> and was the first cousin of George Spencer-Churchill, whose mother had been Jane's father's sister.

She married the duke, then Marquess of Blandford, on 13 January 1819. It was the future duke's first legal marriage, though he had previously gone through a false marriage ceremony without a clergyman and had then lived as husband and wife in Scotland with Harr, which might have made the marriage legal under Scottish law. Blandford had successfully contested the matter in court.

They had four children:

*Lady Louisa Spencer-Churchill (c.1820–1882), who married the Honourable Robert Spencer, son of [[Francis Spencer, 1st Baron Churchill]], and had issue.
*[[John Spencer-Churchill, 7th Duke of Marlborough|John Winston Spencer-Churchill, 7th Duke of Marlborough]] (1822–1883).
*[[Lord Alfred Spencer-Churchill]] (1824–1893), who married the Hon. Harriet Gough-Calthorpe, daughter of Frederick Gough-Calthorpe, 4th Baron Calthorpe and had issue.
*[[Lord Alan Spencer-Churchill]] (1825-1873), who married Rosalind Dowker.

The duchess died at [[Blenheim Palace]], aged 46.
