Hilda Runciman, Viscountess Runciman of Doxford

Hilda Runciman, Viscountess Runciman of Doxford (née Hilda Stevenson) (1869 – 28 October 1956) was a British Liberal Party politician.

A daughter of James Cochran Stevenson, a Liberal Member of Parliament for South Shields, Hilda was educated at Girton College, Cambridge, and in 1898 married Walter Runciman, a rising politician.

She became an MP in her own right in 1928, when she was elected in a by-election as Member of Parliament for St Ives in Cornwall, though she remained in Parliament for only one year. In 1937, her husband became Viscount Runciman of Doxford, and she became Viscountess.
