Norah Telford Burnard (née Drummond; 14 July 1902 – 27 February 1979) was a New Zealand school dental supervisor and journal editor.

Burnard was born in Clareville, Wairarapa, New Zealand on 14 July 1902, and was the older sister of writer Celia Manson.[1] She was one of just 10 women in the 1920s to gain a certificate of proficiency in dental surgery, and worked as a dental supervisor until 1933, when she became the editor of the women's section of the New Zealand Dairy Exporter and Farm Home Journal.[1]
