Florence Maud Broadhurst (28 July 1899 โ€“ 15 October 1977) was an Australian painter, wallpaper and fabrics designer and vaudevillian singer, dancer and musician as well as a businesswoman, charity worker and teacher.

Broadhurst was murdered in the Sydney suburb of Paddington, New South Wales and the perpetrator has not been apprehended. The main suspect in the case is the English-Australian serial killer John Wayne Glover, who was convicted of murdering six elderly women in the Sydney North Shore district between 1989 and 1990 and is thought by police to have been responsible for other deaths.
