Nora Sanderson (née Brocas; 14 February 1905 – 2 March 1975) was a New Zealand writer of romance novels, children's books and short stories, and nurse.

[5] No Bells Were Ringing (1968), her first novel not to feature nursing, was written after a request from her publisher for a work suitable for the American market, without "crime, or hospital stories, or complicated plots".

[8] A review of A Stranger to the Truth (1969) featured in The Press said that Sanderson "must be commended for her ingenious plot", in which a young American woman impersonates her New Zealand friend.

The review noted Sanderson's promotion of New Zealand tourism "by making Kathy the recipient of all kinds of information about the country ... and arranging that she shall be flown extensively over both islands with travelogue descriptions of their charms".

[9] Sanderson held strong political views, and included these themes in her books, such as in The Sun Breaks Through (1975) in which the heroine saves beech forests from being destroyed.
