Florence Chatfield OBE (1 February 1867 – 5 November 1949) was an English-born Australian nurse.

They had arrived as domestic servants, but in 1889 she and her sisters trained as nurses at Brisbane General Hospital.

[1] In 1904, she was in charge of the very first meeting of what became the Queensland Branch of the Australasian Trained Nurses' Association (ATNA) and this was to receive her attention for the rest of her life.

[3] She and Ellen Barron were both ATNA council members and one year (1922–23) they job-shared the role of the organisation's secretary.

She spoke about gender-roles and her belief that although barriers were being lowered between professions she believed that caring for the young and the sick would always be work undertaken by women.
