Jacki Piper, born Jacqueline Crump, (3 August 1946) was an English actress best known for roles in the Carry On film series in the early '70s.
Piper was born in Birmingham and trained at the Birmingham Theatre School. On stage she was billed as Jackie Crump, before picking up Jacki Piper as her Stage Name (beating out Jacki Frost). Her first role in a film was an Uncredited Role as a secretary in The Man Who Haunted Himself.
She auditioned for the role of June (originally known as Jane) in Carry On Jungle Boy (later retitled to Carry On Up the Jungle) taking over for Angela Douglas, who had retired from the series after Carry On Up the Khyber. Piper was contracted to star in the Carry On... Series for the next three years and only missed one film during this time period (Carry On Henry, as she had just gotten married and was busy in the West End). Her final Carry On was Carry On Matron, after that she had gotten pregnant and decided to focus on her family.
Piper still regularly attends events celebrating the legacy of the Carry On films and lives in Surrey with her husband.
