Jane Addison (née Campbell, later Pocklington; 1771 – 27 February 1851) was the first woman in the United Kingdom to petition a divorce (with the ability to remarry) against her husband through an Act of Parliament and did so with success. The divorce was on the grounds of her husband's incestuous adultery and was granted in 1801. Only four other woman successfully won full divorce petitions against their husband before 1857. Prior to 1857, there were only 329 successful divorces granted in the United Kingdom.
