Jane Margaret Hooper (1818 – June 1907) was a British writer, best known for her gothic novel The House of Raby (1854).

Jane Margaret Winnard was born in 1818 in London, daughter of John Winnard, an oilman, and Jane Winnard. In June 1852, she married journalist George Hooper.[1] Their children Wynnard Hooper and Margaret Hooper were close friends with Rudyard Kipling.[2]

In her novel The House of Raby, two lovers cannot marry due to fears of hereditary insanity.[3] Hooper also published the ghost story "Bring Me a Light!" in the magazine Once a Week in 1961.[4]

Jane Margaret Hooper died in June 1907 in Fulham.[5]
