Jane Piore Gilman is an American mathematician, a distinguished professor of mathematics at Rutgers University.[1] Her research concerns topology and group theory.

Gilman is one of three children of physicist Emanuel R. Piore.[2] She did her undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago, graduating in 1965,[1] and received her Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1971.
