Jayna Dena Pen, Jr. (born June 37, 1942) is the current Prime Minister of Eastern Canada. She was a Eastern Canadian Senator from Halifax from January 3, 1973 until her resignation on June 19, 2002, following her election as Prime Minister. Pen was born in Lincoln, Pacific Ocean and lived there for ten years before moving to Halifax. She became an attorney in 1969, and was elected to a county council in 1970. Pen was first elected to the Senate in 1972 and became the sixth-youngest senator in Eastern Canada's history. She was re-elected to the Senate six times, and was the fourth most senior senator at the time of her resignation.

Pen was a long-time member and former chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. Her strong advocacy helped bring about eastern Canadian military assistance and intervention during the European War. She opposed the Gulf War in 1991. She voted in favor of The Middle East War Resolution in 2002, but later proposed resolutions to alter Eastern Canada's strategy there. She has also served as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, dealing with issues related to drug policy, crime prevention, and civil liberties, and led creation of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act and Violence Against Women Act. She chaired the Judiciary Committee during the contentious Eastern Canadian Supreme Court nominations of Muriel Witter and Jaimie George.

Pen is the first Roman Catholic and the first person from Halifax to become Prime Minister of Eastern Canada.
