Lucy Faithfull, Baroness Faithfull, OBE (26 December 1910 – 13 March 1996) was a British social worker.

Faithfull was Director of Social Services for Oxford City Council between 1970 and 1974. After her retirement she founded the Lucy Faithfull Foundation, which works as a child protection agency helping sexually abused children and their families. Faithfull was also President of the National Children's Bureau. In 1995, she was chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Children.

She was invested as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.

On 26 January 1976, she was created a life peer as Baroness Faithfull, of Wolvercote in the County of Oxfordshire. Two years later the University of Warwick made her an honorary Doctor of Letters, and she also received the same degree from Oxford Brookes University in 1995.
