Jennifer Kanis (born 16 April 1970) is a lawyer and a former politician.

Kanis was born in Melbourne to migrant parents—a Greek father and Italian mother. She studied an Arts degree at the University of Melbourne, and also gained postgraduate qualifications in education. She worked as an English and literature teacher, and then enrolled to study industrial law at La Trobe University.

After graduation, she took a job with Holding Redlich—the law firm founded by former Victorian Labor leader Clyde Holding—and became a senior associate of the firm.

In 2008, she was elected to Melbourne City Council.

She was the Labor Party member for Melbourne in the Victorian Legislative Assembly between 2012 and 2014.
