May, Lady Hely-Hutchinson (née Justice; 1861 – 15 November 1938) was a British novelist.

May Justice was born in 1861, the daughter of Major General William Clive Justice.

In 1881, she married Sir Walter Hely-Hutchison, son of Richard Hely-Hutchinson, 4th Earl of Donoughmore.

Her husband was appointed Governor of the Cape Colony in 1901.

In 1902, she published the article "Female Emigration to South Africa", where she bluntly and at length complained about the quality of available domestic servants:[3][4] [...] each class has its allotted duties, and the woman who deliberately neglects or ignores the more delicate or involved social duties of her class is quite as blameworthy as the servant who, instead of attending to her duties, spends what she considers her own, but what is really her mistress's time, in gazing out of a window or reading a 'penny dreadful.
