Jessie Ann Hiett (née McKenzie; 14 April 1874 – 14 September 1962) was a New Zealand temperance activist. A Baptist deaconess for thirty years, she was president of the Dunedin chapter of the Women's Christian Temperance Union New Zealand (WCTU NZ) from 1916 to 1955, and meanwhile served as vice-president at the national level from 1926 to 1934 and again between 1946 and 1949. She was elected president of WCTU NZ in 1935 and served for ten years. Her most notable contributions at the national level was to lead the fight against the government's supplying of World War II troops with alcohol, maintaining the six-o'clock closing of public bars, and against the alcohol trade in the "dry" King Country.
