Jane Radcliffe was one of the two daughters of Robert Radcliffe, 1st Earl of Sussex, by his second wife, Margaret Stanley, the only daughter of Thomas Stanley, 2nd Earl of Derby, and Anne Hastings, the daughter of Edward Hastings, 2nd Baron Hastings. Jane's sister of the whole blood, Anne Radcliffe, married Thomas Wharton, 2nd Baron Wharton.

By her father's third marriage to Mary Arundell (d. 20 October 1557), Jane had a half brother who died in infancy, and another half brother, Sir John Radcliffe.
