Nina Cecelia Francesca Gorst (2 November 1869 – 19 October 1926) was a British novelist.

Most of her novels were dramatizations of the lives of poor Londoners focusing on female characters.

The Light (1906), which was described as a "Cockney Aurora Leigh," features an orphan girl who gives birth to a blind child.

The book follows her spiritual growth as she moves from the workhouse to a series of menial jobs.

[5] Winifred Graham wrote that Gorst was "the most famous palmist in London".
