Jamaica Plain, familièrement appelé « JP » par les habitants, est un quartier de Boston, dans le Massachusetts, au nord-est des États-Unis. Il faisait partie à l'origine de West Roxbury, qui fut annexé par Boston en 1874. Le quartier comptait 38 196 habitants en 2003.

Le botaniste Alfred Rehder (1863-1949) est mort dans le quartier. De 1918 à 1940, il est le conservateur de l'arboretum Arnold à Jamaica Plain et dirige la publication de l’arboretum. Ce dernier fut créé en 1872 pour l'université Harvard.
