Angelina Margaret Hoare (17 May 1843 – 10 January 1892) was a missionary from Kent, England, who devoted her life to the advancement of women's education in British India.

Her brother Walter Hoare was a cleric, and served as curate to Robert Milman, who became Bishop of Calcutta.

[1] Hoare founded the St. John's Diocesan Girls' Higher Secondary School, Calcutta, West Bengal, India.

She used to work by taking suggestions and interacting with various native clergymen and pandits to draw out an educational plan.

She wrote in one of the letters to her brother in England : "...my idea of the future of our Diocesan School is that it should be an institution not confined to any particular society or an elite group..."[3] She died aged 48 in 1892.
