Jeanie Lang (born Mary Eugenia Wirick) was an American actress, mostly known for having a lead role in the 1930 color film King of Jazz.

Lang was born on December 17, 1901, in Maplewood, Missouri.

Lang's initial acting experience came on stage in St. Louis. After about a year of that, she and her family moved to Hollywood, where she was signed to be in King of Jazz (1930). She sang with Paul Whiteman and his orchestra (Ragamuffin Romeo, I Like to Do Things for You) and in the shorts Freshman Love (1931) and The Way of All Freshmen (1933). In 1933, she performed alongside Tom Howard and occasionally the vocal harmonizers known as the Three X Sisters on NBC Radio’s Musical Grocery Store program. A newly resurfaced radio transcribed song, "Rumble Seat" of her vocals.

She was married to Arthur C. Langkamer (Lang), who died in 1986. She died on September 19, 1993, in Broward, Florida.
