{{Short description|Book and magazine illustrator (1888–1972)}}

Jessie Gillespie Willing (March 28, 1888 – August 1, 1972) was an American illustrator during the Golden Age of illustration. She was considered the foremost silhouette illustrator of her time, although she did traditional illustration as well. Willing illustrated for books and magazines including Life, The Ladies' Home Journal, Woman's Home Companion, Mother and Child, McClure's Magazine, Childhood Education, the Sunday Magazine, Association Men (the magazine of the YMCA), Farm and Fireside, Every Week, Children: The Magazine for Parents (which became Parents Magazine), and the American Magazine. She is perhaps most well known for her work for the Girl Scouts.

Thomson Willing had some of Jessie's artwork on his desk, which the Life editor saw and admired. He asked for the artist's information so that he could give her freelance work. Thomson Willing did not want to be accused of nepotism so he persuaded Jessie to use Jessie Gillespie as her professional name, which she did.{{Cite web |date=May 27, 2016 |title=Jessie Gillespie (Willing) |url=https://www.dbdowd.com/illustration-history/2015/11/13/jessie-gillespie |access-date=June 7, 2023 |website=D.B Dowd{{snd}}Graphic Nonfiction}}{{Cite book |last=Moore |first=Lansing |title=Art at the Ocean House: The Good Life Through the Artist's Eye |publisher=Dongan Antiques, LTD |year=2011 |isbn=9781257767151 |location=Bronxville, NY |pages=167–171}}
