Emily Jane Lloyd (1860 – 14 November 1912) was an English chemist and one of the first women to become an Associate member of the Royal Institute of Chemistry.

She was the daughter of Martin Lloyd, a nail manufacturer in Birmingham.^[1] She attended a private school in Leamington.^[1] Later, she attended Mason Science College for a year in 1883, aged 23, and then transferred to University College, Aberystwyth.^[2] She remained at Aberystwyth until 1887. Lloyd is the only female student mentioned in the history of the chemistry department of the university. She then was awarded a B.Sc. from the University of London in 1892.^[1] During this time, she applied under the name of E.Lloyd to sit the Associateship examination of the Institute of Chemistry. Because the committee was unaware that she was a woman, she was permitted to write the paper, which she passed.^[1][2][3]

Once the Institute of Chemistry has admitted one female fellow, they could not deny any subsequent female fellows. A second swiftly followed, Lucy Everest Boole.^[3]

The following year she received a request as science mistress in a public school for girls at Uitenhage, Cape Colony.^[1] She taught there for 4 years and then returned to Wales and then taught at a school in Llanelly until 1909 then retired due to ill health.^[1]

She died on 14 November 1912, aged 52.^[1]
