Margaret Brackenbury Crook (5 May 1886 – 24 May 1972) was a British Unitarian minister, a women’s suffrage and peace activist, and a professor of religious studies in the United States. She was one of the first women ministers to be granted sole authority over a large English church. She is remembered mainly for the strongly feminist biblical exegesis in her 1964 book Women and Religion.
