Lady Jane is a film, first released in the United Kingdom on 7 February, 1986, that tells the story of Lady Jane Grey, the Nine Days' Queen.

Jane Grey is played by Helena Bonham Carter, her husband Guilford Dudley by Cary Elwes, Queen Mary I of England by Jane Lapotaire , and Henry Grey, 1st Duke of Suffolk (father of Jane) by Patrick Stewart.

The movie contains a number of historical inaccuracies; in particular, Jane and Guilford despised each other, and were housed separately in the Tower of London. Also, the event that precipitated her execution was the rebellion of Sir Thomas Wyatt; the movie portrays it as being as a result of Mary's desire to be married.
