Emma Jane Greenland (after marriage, Hooker; 1760/61 – 9 September 1838) was an English painter, writer and singer. She was the author of Curious Discovery of the Ancient Grecian Method of Painting on Wax (encaustic painting). Greenland may have been a pupil of Johann Christian Bach, and she owned some of his manuscripts after his death. She was awarded a Gold Pallet on 14 November 1786 by the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce.
