Janis Ringhand (born February 13, 1950) is a member of the Wisconsin State Senate from Evansville, Wisconsin. An accountant and former director of a non-profit, she previously served in the Wisconsin State Assembly.

Ringhand graduated from Madison Area Technical College in 1985, and served as the Mayor of Evansville from 2002 to 2006. A Democrat, Ringhand was elected to the Assembly in 2010.[1][2]

In 2014, with the announced retirement of state senator Tim Cullen, Ringhand ran for Cullen's seat rather than seek re-election to the Assembly. She won the Democratic primary election in August, with 6,157 votes to 5,883 for former Cullen aide Austin Scieszinski and 3,448 for former Assembly Speaker Michael J. Sheridan.[3][4] On November 4, 2014, Ringhand was elected to the Wisconsin State Senate.[5]
