Kathleen Louise Wood-Legh (1901–1981) was a Canadian historian, specialising in medieval social and economic history.
After completing a BA in 1923 and an MA in 1924, both at McGill University, she travelled to England with her family for further study.
Trevelyan, she was unable to secure a permanent academic position and became a tutor and supervisor for undergraduate students at the University of Cambridge.
