Dorothy Clutterbuck (19 January 1880 – 12 January 1951), was a wealthy Englishwoman who was named by Gerald Gardner as a leading member of the New Forest coven, a group of pagan Witches into which Gardner claimed to have been initiated in 1939. She has therefore become a figure of some significance in the history of Wicca.
Clutterbuck was a practising Anglican Christian, and never publicly identified herself as a witch. Researchers have debated whether the surviving evidence of her own writings indicates that she had unconventional religious leanings.
