Charlotte A. Gray (April 7, 1844 – November 9, 1912) was an English educator and temperance missionary.[1] She was engaged in education from her teens, first in family or school, then in the wider field of the temperance movement, particularly in continental Europe. With a talent for learning foreign languages, Gray served as Continental Good Templar Missionary[2] for the Independent Order of Good Templars (I.O.G.T.) and was instrumental in establishing branches of the organization in Holland, Switzerland, France, Bavaria, and Saxony.[3] She was also the founder of the International Anti-Alcohol Congresses.[4]
