Florence Priscilla, Lady Norman, CBE (nee McLaren; 1881 – 1 March 1964, Antibes) was an English socialite and activist.
Florence was the fourth child and second daughter of Charles McLaren, 1st Baron Aberconway and Laura Elizabeth Pochin.
In 1907, she married Sir Henry Norman, 1st Baronet, a Liberal MP. Like her mother, she was active in the cause of women's suffrage through the Liberal Women's Suffrage Union and the Women's Liberal Federation. During the First World War, she ran a hospital in France. She was awarded the Mons Star for her services and created a CBE.
After the war, Lady Norman supported the creation of the Imperial War Museum and was one of its trustees. She was also the first woman to be appointed to the board of the Royal Earlswood Hospital, in 1926.
The archives of Lady Norman are held at the Women's Library in London.
