Lady Augusta Elizabeth Frederica Stanley (3 April 1822 – 1 March 1876), was daughter of Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin and Elizabeth Oswald. She was brought up in Paris after her father died and later served as lady-in-waiting to Queen Victoria. She met and married Arthur P. Stanley, Dean of Westminster at the home of Mary Elizabeth Mohl in Paris.^[1]

She unveiled Joseph Edgar Boehm's statue of John Bunyan in Bedford in 1874.

Lady Augusta is buried alongside her husband in the Henry VII Lady Chapel at Westminster Abbey. A memorial in her honour was commissioned by Queen Victoria and stands at Frogmore.

Some of Stanley's letters are published in Letters of Lady Augusta Stanley: A Young Lady at Court 1849-1863 edited by the Dean of Windsor and Hector Bolitho.
