Octavia Wilberforce (1888–1963) was an English physician who made a medical career despite opposition from her parents, with support from Elizabeth Robins.

[1][4] With her father refusing her financial support and disinheriting her, Wilberforce relied mainly on Robins and Lord Buxton.

Upon qualifying, she worked as house physician to Wilfred Harris at St Mary's Hospital, London.

Wilberforce subsequently advised Virginia on the lines of her treatment of exhausted women at Backsettown, a farmhouse belonging to Robins.

[6] On 27 March 1941 Leonard drove Virginia to consult Wilberforce in Brighton; she advised complete rest on the basis of a physical examination.
