Linda Shear (born 1948 in Chicago, Illinois) is a singer/songwriter and piano player. She came out of the closet in 1972 and began performing with her band, Family of Woman.

Following the dissolution of Family of Woman, Shear began touring and released her album A Lesbian Portrait on her own independent record label, Old Lady Blue Jeans in 1974. She performed at Women's Music festivals and folk festivals.
