Susan McMaster (10 September 1819 – 27 August 1916) was the founder of Moulton Ladies' College and the wife of Canadian senator and founder of McMaster University, William McMaster. A devout Christian and supporter of girls' education, she sought to inspire young girls to be devout Christians and exert a strong influence on their communities through their work as homemakers and community service.[1][2]

In 1888, McMaster founded Moulton Ladies' College, a private girls' school in Toronto, Ontario.[3]
