Brenda Joyce (born Betty Leabo on February 25, 1912 - died on November 22, 2007) was an American actress originally from Excelsior Springs, Missouri.

Although she appeared in many B-movies of the 1940s, she is best remembered as the seventh actress to play Jane in the Tarzan series of films. She succeeded Maureen O'Sullivan in the series and appeared in the role five times. The first four appearances were opposite Johnny Weissmuller, but her last performance as Jane, in 1949's Tarzan's Magic Fountain, was with Lex Barker as Tarzan.
