Jessie Mary Grey Street (née Lillingston, later Lady Street; 18 April 1889 – 2 July 1970) was an Australian suffragette and an extensive campaigner for peace and human rights.
A maverick among Australia's conservative establishment, she was dubbed Red Jessie by her detractors in the right-wing media for her efforts to promote diplomacy with the USSR and to ease tensions during the Cold War.
She was nevertheless ardent until death in her support for the progressive cause.
