Jane's Defence Weekly (abbreviated as JDW) is a weekly magazine reporting on military and corporate affairs, edited by Peter Felstead. It is one of a number of military-related publications named after John F. T. Jane, an Englishman who first published Jane's All the World's Fighting Ships in 1898. It is a unit of Jane's Information Group, which is now owned by IHS.

Leaked photo of the Nikolaiev 444 shipyard in the Black Sea taken in 1984

The magazine was made infamous in 1985 when a naval intelligence analyst with the U.S. Navy, Samuel Loring Morison, leaked KH-11 satellite photographs of the under-construction Soviet aircraft carrier Leonid Brezhnev (now Admiral Kuznetsov[1]) at Nikolaiev 444 to JDW.
