Caroline Sarah Wedgwood (née Darwin; 1800–1888) was an English botanist. She was a member of the Darwin–Wedgwood family and the elder sister of English naturalist Charles Darwin. In the 1850s she planted the Rhododendron Wood at Leith Hill, Surrey, which in 1944 was bequeathed to the National Trust by her grandson, composer Ralph Vaughan Williams.
