Joyce Wethered (born November 17, 1901 in Surrey, England — died November 18, 1997, London) was a golfer widely regarded as the greatest British woman player of her time. Wethered and her brother Roger, who tied for the British Open title in 1921 but lost the play-off, learned the game as children. She won the British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship four times (1922, 1924, 1925, and 1929) and English Ladies' champion for five consecutive years (1920–24). After her marriage in 1924, she was also known as Lady Heathcote-Amory.
