Jane Franklin Hall in Hobart, Australia is an independent non-denominational residential college of the University of Tasmania.

Familiarly referred to as "Jane", it was founded by the Tasmanian Council of Churches in 1950 as a residential college for women before becoming co-educational in 1973.

Her husband was the famous but ill-fated arctic explorer Sir John Franklin, who from 1837 to 1843 was the sixth Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania).

At a time when women were meant to stay in the domestic sphere Jane, Lady Franklin held lectures and evening parties with intellectual conversation.

The high vaulted ceilings and seven larger rooms are typically allocated by academic merit and community contribution.

All residents have access to an in-house academic support programme which provides subject tutorials in addition to those regular to a university course.

The following sports and activities are played between Jane Franklin Hall, Christ College and John Fisher College in an intercollege sports competition: Rugby, Tennis, Table Tennis, Volleyball, Softball, Cricket, Netball, Australian Rules football, Soccer, Basketball and Debating.

As well as the intercollege sports, the College holds annual theatrical productions, student art exhibitions, music soirees and competitions, and philosophy and religion discussion groups.

Every second Monday of the semester, students don academic gowns for a three-course meal complete with candelabra and the wearing of College ties or brooches.

The Principal hosts staff and special guests at the high table, grace is said - often in Latin - and a member of College acknowledges the traditional owners of the land, the Mouheneener people.

In 2018, the College resumed management of the kitchen, having engaged an external catering company for a number of years.
