Caroline Louisa Waring Calvert (née Atkinson; 25 February 1834 – 28 April 1872) was an early Australian writer, botanist and illustrator.While she was well known for her fiction during her lifetime, her long-term significance rests on her botanical work.
She is regarded as a ground-breaker for Australian women in journalism and natural science, and is significant in her time for her sympathetic references to Aboriginal Australians in her writings and her encouragement of conservation.
