Emily Hancock Siedeberg-McKinnon CBE (17 February 1873 – 13 June 1968) was a New Zealand medical practitioner and hospital superintendent.

[2] She was the third child of Irish Quaker Anna Thompson and Franz David Siedeberg, a German Jewish architect who had emigrated to New Zealand in 1861 and taken up mining.

Although the dean, John Scott, was reluctant to admit Siedeberg, the university council decided that the school was open to men and women.

The opposition Siedeberg faced was minor compared to that received by women trying to enrol in medical degrees overseas.

After postgraduate training and work experience overseas, she eventually registered as a medical practitioner and set up a private practice in Dunedin, with financial help from her father.

[10] The street Emily Siedeberg Place in Dunedin was named in her honour in 1993, as part of Suffrage Centennial Year.
