Margaret McCrorie Herbison PC (11 March 1907 – 29 December 1996) was a Scottish Labour politician who was Minister of Social Security from 1964 to 1967.

She also worked as an economics tutor at the National Council of Labour Colleges, and served on the Miners' Welfare Commission.

[1] After the death of her father in the coal mine in which he worked, his miners' lodge nominated her as a candidate for the North Lanarkshire constituency.

She won the nomination, and subsequently took the seat at the General Election of 1945 from the Conservative Sir William Anstruther Grey.

She was an early British delegate to the Council of Europe, and is believed to be the only woman parliamentary Representative - among 101 accredited in total, from twelve nations - to attend the very first sitting of the Council's Parliamentary Assembly in Strasbourg in August 1949, alongside Winston Churchill among others.
