Emily Anne Theophila, Lady Clive Bayley (née Metcalfe; 31 August 1830 – 6 March 1911) was an English memoirist. A book of her reminiscences was published in 1980. Edited by M. M. Kaye, it was called The Golden Calm: An English Lady's Life in Moghul Delhi: Reminiscences by Emily, Lady Clive Bayley, and by Her Father Sir Thomas Metcalfe.[2]

In 1844, her father sent her an illustrated book that he had commissioned. Known as the Delhi Book, it is currently housed in the British Museum.
