Constance Angel Greene, Lady Allardyce OBE (23 December 1861 – 23 November 1919) was a natural historian, who became known for her collection of fossils from the Devonian of the Falkland Islands. These played an important role in attempts by geologists to reconstruct the ancient continent of Gondwana. She also created a museum in Port Stanley to illustrate the geology, fauna and flora of the Falkland islands. A trilobite, Metacryphaeus allardyceae, was named in her honour.
