Consort Jia (賈貴人, personal name unknown) was an imperial consort to
Han Dynasty's
Emperor Ming. She gave birth to Prince Liu Da (劉炟), later
Emperor Zhang, in 57, while Emperor Ming was still crown prince. At Emperor Ming's direction, his wife Empress Ma, Consort Jia's aunt—her mother's sister—adopted Prince Da as her own son. The eventual Emperor Zhang was aware of Consort Jia's status as his birth mother but never treated her as mother. Even after Empress Dowager Ma died in 79, Emperor Zhang only authorized her to use the style of an imperial prince, never as an empress dowager, and her brothers were not honored as his uncles.

生平
史書未記載賈貴人的身世，僅知她是明德馬皇后「前母姊」（一說前母｛父親前妻｝所生的同父異母姐姐，二說前母姐姐）的女兒。馬皇后的姐姐馬姜（34年－106年）有墓誌出土，馬姜是膠東侯賈複第五子賈武仲的妻子，有兩個女兒同為漢明帝貴人。但賈氏是否是馬姜的女兒，有不同的說法。
賈貴人在建武末年，入當時的皇太子劉莊的宮中為妾。建武中元二年（57年），賈氏生下劉莊的第五子劉炟，並由無子的馬氏撫養。此外，賈氏還生有一女劉奴。劉莊即位後，賈氏和馬氏皆被封為貴人。永平三年（60年），漢明帝冊封馬貴人為皇后，劉炟為皇太子。劉奴在同年封平陽公主。
永平十八年（75年），漢明帝逝世，皇太子劉炟登基，尊馬皇后為皇太后。雖然賈貴人是皇帝的生母，但是劉炟一直由馬皇后撫養長大，只認馬家是其外家。所以賈貴人最終不能登上皇太后的位置，賈家的親族也沒有受到榮譽和寵信。
建初四年（79年）馬太后逝世，漢章帝才給生母賈貴人加上等同於諸侯王的赤綬，安車一駟，永巷宮人二百，御府染錦二萬匹，大司農黃金千斤，錢三千萬。此後再無關於賈貴人的記載。
