Margaret Eleanor Theodora Addison CBE (October 21, 1868 - December 18, 1940) was a Canadian educator and the sixth woman to graduate from Victoria College.

She was the first dean of women at Victoria College, Toronto,[1] and served as dean of Annesley Hall from 1903 until 1931.[2]

Addison graduated from Victoria in 1889 with a BA in modern languages.[3] She was appointed a CBE in 1934.[4]

She taught mathematics and chemistry at the Ontario Ladies’ College in Whitby (1889–1891) before becoming a specialist in French and German at Stratford Collegiate Institute (1892–1900) and Lindsay Collegiate Institute (1901–1903).[1]

The Margaret Addison Scholarship for women pursuing postgraduate studies outside Canada was created to recognize her contributions to women in higher education. In 1959 a residence was opened at Victoria College and named after her – Margaret Addison Hall.[1]
