Jane Aitken (1764–1832) was an American printer and publisher known for printing Charles Thomson's translation of the Septuagint into English,[1][2] as well as Rebecca Rush's novel Kelroy.[3][4] She was the first printer to issue a Philadelphia census directory containing a section devoted to "persons of colour".[5]
Some of her papers are held in the collections of one of her clients, the American Philosophical Society.[6]
