Alice Buxton Winnicott née Taylor (1891 – 1969) was an English research scientist, painter and ceramicist.

Alice’s mother, Florence Maberly Buxton (1856–1934), a teacher before she married, had educated all her children at home in their early years.

In 1912 Alice went up to Cambridge, following her mother and older sister Mary into Newnham College (1912–1915), studying the Natural Sciences Tripos.

In 1923 she married the newly qualified doctor, Donald Winnicott, on 7 July 1923 in St Mary's Church, Frensham.

Alice's "severe psychological difficulties" are documented in a number of Winnicott's biographies, but the limitations of this description belie her achievements.

[7] The couple were divorced in 1949 and two years later Donald Winnicott married Clare Britton on 28 December 1951.

[7] In the final years of her life, Winnicott moved to New Quay in Cardiganshire, South Wales, to be with her younger sister.

Winnicott left a number of paintings in notable collections including at Plymouth City Council and her alma mater.
