Janice Anne Fiamengo (born 1964, Vancouver) is a Canadian professor emerita of English literature at the University of Ottawa. She became known in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom for her unsparing critique of feminism and its excesses.

Fiamengo was initially a feminist herself, and her scholarly work (such as 'The Woman's Page', 2008) reveals her keen interest in the role of women in the public debates of their time. However, Fiamengo turned away from feminism as it became more ideological and intolerant,[1] and started to threaten the academic freedom of expression.[2] For the same reason, she then joined the board of the 'Society for Academic Freedom and Scholarship'.[3] Several of her discussions with students have been published on YouTube, as has a long series of polemical video lectures ('The Fiamengo File') by Studio Brulé (SB), in which she scrutinizes various aspects of radical feminism. In a groundbreaking later series ('The Fiamengo File 2.0') she presents an alternative history of early feminism.

Fiamengo's critique of the hostility towards men that she encountered within academic feminism led to her engagement with the men's rights movement.[4] In her book 'Sons of Feminism' she shows the other side of the so-called male 'privilege' and the supposed female subordination in 26 life stories of men.
