Jane Diane Lomax-Smith, AM, JP, FRCPA (born 19 June 1950) is an Australian politician and histopathologist serving as Lord Mayor of Adelaide since 14 November 2022. Lomax-Smith previously held the position of Lord Mayor between 1997 and 2000, after serving as a City of Adelaide councillor from 1991 to 1997.
She was elected to the South Australian House of Assembly seat of Adelaide representing the Labor Party from 2002 to 2010, serving as a Minister of Education and Tourism. Following the 2010 South Australian state election, Lomax-Smith served as the chair of numerous boards, including the South Australian Museum.
In 2026, The Advertiser named Lomax-Smith as one of South Australia's most influential people citing her position and having "smoothed the waters with the state government over major projects and other city initiatives" since her return to the role.
