Florence Mellowes Montgomery (July 22, 1914 – January 20, 1998) was an American museologist, art historian, and curator, specializing in textiles.

She traveled and studied in Europe and worked as a library secretary at the Art Institute of Chicago before receiving an MFA from Radcliffe College in 1943.

She subsequently moved to New York to work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with Joseph Downs, curator of the American Wing.

[1][3] In 1946, she married Charles F. Montgomery (1910–1978), with whom she had two children: William Phelps, who went on to become a digital fine artist, and Agnes Nisbet, who died at the age of five.

When Yale University published a posthumous tribute to Charles's career (originally intended to celebrate his retirement), the volume underscored the professional contributions of his wife and collaborator.
