Joan Alicia Ingilby MBE (11 December 1911 – 27 October 2000) was a British poet, historian and collector.

Her books recorded life in the Yorkshire Dales and she was a co-founder of a museum founded on the artefacts that she and Marie Hartley had collected.

Her parents were Marjorie Cecily (born Phelips) and Lieutenant-Colonel John Uchtred Macdowall Ingilby.

In the early 1970s they donated their gatherings to the former North Riding of Yorkshire County Council.

[2] The archive of their documents and photographs remains in the care of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society, whose Silver Medal they won in 1993.
