Jennifer Lynn Wexton (née Tosini, May 27, 1968) is an American lawyer and politician who served as the United States representative for Virginia's 10th congressional district from 2019 to 2025. The district is anchored in the outer portion of Northern Virginia, and includes most of Loudoun County, parts of Prince William, Fauquier, Rappahannock, and Fairfax counties, and small parts of the independent cities of Manassas and Manassas Park.[1]

A Democrat, Wexton was a member of the Virginia Senate from 2014 to 2019; she represented the 33rd district, which includes parts of Fairfax and Loudoun Counties.

In 2018, Wexton was elected to Congress, defeating Republican incumbent Barbara Comstock with 56% of the vote. She was re-elected in 2020 and 2022. Some commentators have described Wexton as a moderate Democrat. In September 2023, after being diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy, Wexton announced that she would not seek re-election in 2024.
