The name Janet has been used for one tropical cyclone in the Atlantic Ocean and one in the Australian region.
In the Atlantic:
- Hurricane Janet (1955) – a Category 5 hurricane that became one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record; caused at least 1,023 deaths and $65.8 million (1955 USD) in damages.
The U.S. Weather Bureau retired the name Janet from future use in the Atlantic basin after the 1955 season. After a policy change in 1969, Janet was later permanently retired. No name was selected to replace Janet.
In the Australian region:
- Cyclone Janet (1970) – a Category 2 tropical cyclone that never threatened land.
