Jacqueline Fanchette Clotilde Clay Shumiatcher, OC SOM (April 29, 1923 – February 1, 2021) was a Canadian philanthropist, arts patron, and art collector. She and her husband Morris C. Shumiatcher began supporting the arts community in Regina, Saskatchewan, shortly after their marriage in 1955, an endeavor which she continued since Morris' death in 2004. The couple were avid collectors of Inuit art and artwork by local artists. In 2014 she donated 1,310 Inuit sculptures and paintings by the Regina Five, worth an estimated C$3 million, to the University of Regina. She received many honours and awards, including the Saskatchewan Order of Merit in 2001 and the Order of Canada in 2017.
