Jean Darling (born Dorothy Jean LeVake on August 23, 1922) is a former American child actress who was regular in the Our Gang short subjects series from 1927 to 1929. She is also the last surviving cast member of the silent era version.

She continued to appear in films after leaving the gang, including an appearance in Laurel & Hardy's 1934 adaptation of Babes in Toyland. In adulthood, she relocated to Ireland and became a radio actress. She also began writing short stories, some of which appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and Whispers.
