Jacintha Laura May Buddicom (10 May 1901 – 4 November 1993) was a poet and a childhood friend of George Orwell (Eric Blair).
She met Blair in 1914 and they developed a shared interest in poetry, but she lost touch with him after he departed for Burma in 1922, and later she disputed Blair's writings about his own childhood.
She considered it “impertinent” of Orwell to have volunteered in the Spanish Civil War.
The two were in contact again near the end of Blair's life.
She gave an account of the relationship in her memoir Eric & Us, published in 1974.
