Emily Spender (Bath, 1841–1922) was an English novelist and suffragette. She was cousin of the diarist Henry Crabb Robinson and sister-in law of radical publisher William Saunders, who placed her brother Edward Spender into a position as editor of the Western Morning News. Spender published her first two novels anonymously, first a conventional novel Son and Heir (1870), and then the feminist novel Restored (Hurst & Blackett, 1871), which was dedicated to Lilias Sophia Hallett the leader of the Bristol society for women's suffrage.
