Lady Randolph Churchill CI DStJ (Jeanette "Jennie" Jerome) (January 9, 1854 – June 9, 1921) was an American society beauty, best-known to history as the mother of British prime minister Winston Churchill.

Jennie Jerome was born at 197 Amity Street, in the Cobble Hill section of Brooklyn, New York, the second of four daughters of financier, sportsman and speculator Leonard Jerome and his wife, Clarissa Hall, daughter of Ambrose Hall, a landowner and sometime New York State Assemblyman.
