Jean Jani (born October 31, 1931 in Dayton, Ohio) is an American model. She was "Playboy" magazine's Playmate of the Month for the July 1957 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Peter Gowland.

Jani was presented as a flight attendant in her "Playboy" pictorial, but in actuality she was a reservations clerk with United Airlines when she was discovered. Gowland is quoted in "The Playmate Book" as saying that United fired Jani following her Playmate appearance.

In a newer edition of "The Playmate Book", Jani says she had totally forgotten about her "Playboy" work until her grown daughter presented her with a copy of the book's first edition, complete with pictures of herself. Since then, Jani has returned to the "Playboy" fold by attending some convention events.
