Helena Catherine Marfell OBE (née Glen; 4 August 1896 – 2 November 1981) was an Australian community worker who was the first president of the Country Women's Association of Australia (1945–1947).

The child of grazier Archibald Glen and his second wife Rachel, née Pratt, she attended Camperdown Church of England Grammar School and Hohenlohe College in Warrnambool.

She married grain merchant Henry George Marfell on 26 December 1918 at Kariah in a Presbyterian ceremony, and as a wife and mother also worked as an accountant for her husband's business.

Her preferences helped ensure the election of Liberal candidate Dan Mackinnon.

Her term as CP women's president expired in 1950 and she moved to Geelong in 1952, and was sworn in as a justice of the peace in 1953[2] and became a special magistrate of the Children's Court in 1957.
