Thomas Jane (sometimes Jan; died September 1500) was a medieval Bishop of Norwich.
Educated at New College, Oxford,[1] Jane was Rector of the Church of Saint Mary the Virgin in Hayes, Middlesex from 1473 to 1499. He was collated Archdeacon of Essex on 21 July 1480[2] and nominated to the bishopric on 14 June 1499 and was consecrated later in 1499, probably on 20 October. From 1496 to 1500 he was also a Canon of Windsor and Dean of the Chapel Royal.[3]
Jane died in September 1500.[4]
