Annie Henrietta Yorke (née de Rothschild; also known as Hon. Mrs. Eliot Yorke; 1844-1926) was an English philanthropist and temperance reformer. She was one of the best-known social workers in South Hampshire, being especially interested in temperance and education. As president, vice-president, or patron, Yorke was probably associated with more organisations in Southampton than any other woman of her era.
