Rowena Birkett (3 November 1860 – 17 July 1915) was an Australian natural history illustrator and artist. Prior to her marriage in 1882 Rowena was the protege of her uncle Silvester Diggles during the last decade of his life. She provided assistance hand-colouring lithographic prints for his publication Companion to Gould's Handbook and produced completed drawings for Diggles' unfinished project on Australian insects.
