Dorothy Langlands (née Storey) (died 1845) was an English silversmith.
Langlands was the daughter of Charles Storey of Soho. She married John Langlands II,[1] whose family were the most prominent silversmiths in Newcastle-upon-Tyne for sixty years. Langlands' husband died in 1804 and[2] after his death, she registered a mark of her own, although the date of registration is unknown. Classified as both a goldsmith and a jeweler, she was active until 1814, with an address on Dean Street.[1] She is among the best-known of the silversmiths from Newcastle-upon-Tyne; despite this, the quality of her engraving is crude.[3]
A George III tea set crafted by Langlands between 1809 and 1812 is in the collection of the National Museum of Women in the Arts.[1]
