Alice Ravenhill (1859, Epping Forest, England – 1954, British Columbia) was an educational pioneer, a developer of Women's Institutes, and one of the first authors to propound aboriginal rights in B.C.

[1] Early in life she took an interest in social issues, causing her to undertake studies in public health, child development, and home economics.

As a representative of the British Board of Education, Ravenhill travelled to the United States to learn more about the teaching of home economics in American universities.

In 1908 hygiene lecturer Ravenhill, Hilda D. Oakeley and Thereza Rucker created a home science course at King's College, London in the Women's Department.

Ravenhill held this position until 1919 at which point she became very ill and had to return to British Columbia to convalesce for several years in Victoria with nursing care by her sister Edith.
