Annie Hall Cudlip (née Thomas; 25 October 1838 – 24 November 1918), writing as Mrs. Pender Cudlip, was an English novelist and writer. She edited Ours: A Holiday Quarterly and contributed regularly to All the Year Round, Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, and other magazines in Britain and the United States between 1876 and 1884.
