Dame Mary Rosalind Paget, DBE, ARRC (4 January 1855 – 19 August 1948), was a noted British nurse, midwife and reformer.

[3] In the 1890s she played an active role in the campaign for midwife registration, giving evidence in 1892 to the select committee on midwifery, but it was not until 1902 that the Midwives Act was passed.

[7] It made it an offence for anyone not properly certificated to describe herself, or practice, as a midwife, and established the Central Midwives' Board, of which Paget was a member until 1924.

[8] She founded and helped edit the institute's journal, Nursing Notes (which became the Midwives' Chronicle).

She was a niece of the social reformer William Rathbone VI who contributed to the development of the Queens Nursing Institute.
