Evelyne Webb Bowdich (née George; 22 August 1861 – 22 October 1930), who wrote under the name Mrs. Bowdich, was an English writer. She contributed child-rearing articles to Baby: The Mother's Magazine, later revised and expanded as Confidential Chats with Mothers (1890), which has been cited in later discussions of maternal care. She also authored a vegetarian cookbook, New Vegetarian Dishes (1892), which went through multiple editions and was reviewed in contemporary periodicals; some of its recipes were later reprinted in modern compilations. She filed patents in 1890 and 1914 for devices intended to prevent drips from siphons, and she supported animal welfare causes.
