Caroline Humphrey, Baroness Rees of Ludlow, DBE, FBA (née Waddington; born 1 September 1943) is a British anthropologist and academic.
She retired from her post as Sigrid Rausing Professor of Collaborative Anthropology at the University of Cambridge to become Voluntary Research Director of MIASU in October 2010.
In 2010, she completed the manuscript of a monograph, jointly written with Hurelbaatar Ujeed, entitled A Monastery in Time: the Making of Mongolian Buddhism.
The book was the culmination of fieldwork and visits, from 1995, to Mergen Monastery in the Urad Mongols region of Inner Mongolia (China), where a distinctive form of Mongolian-language Buddhism has survived since the 18th century.
In the 2011 New Year Honours, Humphrey was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) 'for services to scholarship'.
