Julia Bainbrigge Wightman (23 January 1817 – 14 January 1898) née Julia Bainbrigge James, was a British philanthropist, writer and Temperance activist. She wrote sometimes as Mrs Charles Wightman. Her profits and the St. Alkmund's Total Abstinence Society paid for "Wightman's Hall" in Shrewsbury and her work was mirrored by other groups inspired by her example.
