Helen Mary Boyd (born 8 November 1947 in Guildford, Surrey, England) is a former 1960s London fashion model. She is also the younger sister of Pattie Boyd, who married Beatle George Harrison.

She was given the nickname "Jenny" as an infant by sister Pattie, after her favorite doll. She dated folk-rock singer Donovan, who wrote the song "Jennifer Juniper" about her. Along with Donovan and her sister, Boyd was present with The Beatles at Rishikesh, to attend a training session in Transcendental Meditation held by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1968.[1] Later she shared an apartment with Magic Alex of Apple Corps's Apple Electronics subdivision. She also worked at the Apple Boutique in London.

She married Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood on 12 June 1970 and they had two daughters, Lucy and Amy. After divorcing Fleetwood (and remarrying and redivorcing him), Jenny eventually married drummer Ian Wallace (formerly of King Crimson) in 1984; they later divorced. She attended UCLA in the late 1980s and earned a Ph.D. in psychology, and became a clinical consultant and author. She co-authored a book about music and psychology, titled Musicians in Tune.[2]
