Lavinia Lyttelton (4 January 1849 – 9 October 1939) was a British promoter of women's education in the United Kingdom.

[1] She took relief attending the lectures for women organised by an ad-hoc group which included Mary Ward, Louise Creighton and Charlotte Byron Green.

[2] Members of the committee who organised the lectures for women moved on to join the Association for Promoting the Education of Women in Oxford, including Mary Ward, Louise Creighton, Charlotte Byron Green[2] and Lavinia Talbot.

She was joined by her husband and many realised that they would need a new hall where women students could live whilst at university.

[1] In 1913 she backed the controversial invitation of Maude Royden, a woman, to talk to the all-male Church Congress about White Slavery.
