Jay Spectre (1930 – 1992) was an American Interior and furniture designer. He was born in Louisville, Kentucky. He was professionally active in New York.

Spectre went from a teenager designing window displays for the Frankfort furniture store of his brother-in-law Elliott Marcus, to the top of the interior design industry propelled by a fresh yet classic sense of style, drive and considerable charm.

Politicians and movie stars were among his clients. Magazines such as House Beautiful and Architectural Digest covered his work. With his venture into creating furniture, fabrics, rugs, lamps, and other accessories, his name became more well-known in his later career.
