Mabel Fletcher (died 1955) was an English local politician, the first woman alderman.[1]

A "keen Tory", Fletcher was a member of the Ladies Branch of the Liverpool Civic Service League (CSL).[2] She was elected to Liverpool City Council in 1919.[1] She died in hospital at Fazakerley, Liverpool on 2 December 1955.[1]

She has sometimes been confused with Muriel E. Fletcher, author of the 1930 'Fletcher report' on racial mixing in Liverpool.[3]
