Battling Jane is an American silent melodrama film released in 1918. It was directed by Elmer Clifton as a vehicle for Dorothy Gish and included some patriotic overtones. According to the Progressive Silent Film List at SilentEra.com, its survival status is unknown.

The film was released in the United States in September, 1918, and in Canada shortly before the new year. In some venues it was accompanied by the comedy film The Goat with Fred Stone. It would be one of the most financially successful films made by Gish for Paramount.Battling Jane received good reviews for its performances and its scenario Though by turns pure comedy and pure melodrama, it is logically and consistently told. A reviewer for the Toronto World thought Dorothy Gish a marvel of cleverness... as charming as in any of her previous parts. Director Elmer Clifton leaves nothing to be desired, either in point of acting or investiture. The support is unusually capable. The Evening Post of Wellington, New Zealand, found the lead role quaint nonetheless it praised both the cleverly depicted story and the leading lady There are hundreds of Janes in the world, no doubt... Ms. Gish portrays the character realistically. ........
