Muriel Matilda Etches (1898 – 18 April 1974) was a British fashion designer, couturier, and costume designer. She first went into business in 1934, and found "widespread fame" in the 1940s. As a theatre and film costume designer, she worked with Sophie Fedorovitch and Cecil Beaton. Clothes that she created in the 1940s were the first modern fashion items to be honoured as key acquisitions by London's Victoria and Albert Museum.
