Margaret Veley was a British author and poet, born in Braintree, Essex, on May 12, 1843. She was educated at home and became known for both novels and poetry during the late Victorian period.

Her published work included novels such as For Percival, Damocles, and Mitchelhurst Place, as well as poetry collected after her death in A Marriage of Shadows and Other Poems.
