Charlotte Sophia Fitzalan-Howard (née Leveson-Gower), Duchess of Norfolk (bapt. 9 July 1788–7 July 1870) was a daughter of the 1st Duke of Sutherland and his wife, Elizabeth.
On 27 December 1814, she married the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, the son and heir of the 12th Duke of Norfolk and became the Countess of Arundel and Surrey and upon the death of her husband's father in 1842, she became the Duchess of Norfolk. The couple later had five children:
- Lady Adeliza Matilda Fitzalan-Howard (d. 1904)
- Henry Granville Fitzalan-Howard, Earl of Arundel and Surrey (1815–1860)
- Lord Edward George Fitzalan-Howard (1818–1883)
- Lady Mary Charlotte Howard (1822–1897)
- Lord Bernard Thomas Fitzalan-Howard (1825–1846)
One of the duchess's most accomplished works was a 166-piece collection of songs and piano pieces that she translated into five languages between 1811 and 1823. It includes works from composers such as Rousseau, Gay, Mozart, Arnold, Arne and Handel. The collection is currently held by Yale University.
