Emily Margaret Wood (1865 – 1907) was an English botany teacher and painter of scientific illustrations and Arts and Crafts ceramics.

Her mother was described as an artist and teacher of drawing, while her father's occupation was as a merchant and broker in India from a military family.

[8] She is known to have collected specimens for her personal herbarium but this does not appear to have survived, apart from 2 specimens now in the National Museum of Wales In addition she wrote for the Liverpool Mercury (later Liverpool Daily Post) newspaper in long 'country diary' style columns from 1903, and monthly essays for the Wallasey Chronicle during 1906-7.

In 1902 a collection of her watercolours of fungi, painted over previous decades were bought by Birkenhead Reference Library on the Wirral.

She entered a collection of plant specimens from around Llansannan into a competition in the National Eisteddfod of Wales in Rhyl in 1904 and won the first prize.

[1] From the late 1890s she was commissioned as a ceramics painter by Sir William Forwood for the Della Robbia Pottery, part of the Arts and Crafts movement's reaction against mass-production.

[10] She painted Art Nouveau-influenced vases and tiles with botanical and classical scenes, including executing a design by Ford Madox Brown,[11], some of which are now in national museum collections.
