Lucy Edith Noel-Buxton, Baroness Noel-Buxton (née Pelham Burn; 1888 – 9 December 1960) was a British Labour Party politician.
Noel-Buxton was elected as Member of Parliament for North Norfolk at a by-election in 1930, after her husband, the MP Noel Buxton was elevated to the peerage as Baron Noel-Buxton. She won her seat with a majority of only 139 votes, and at the 1931 general election she lost by nearly 7,000 votes to the Conservative candidate Thomas Cook. She stood again at the 1935 general election, and was again defeated, but halved the Conservative majority.
Lady Noel-Buxton returned to the House of Commons in the Labour landslide at the 1945 general election, when she was elected for the 2-seat Norwich constituency. She did not contest the 1950 general election.
Lady Noel-Buxton had six children.
