Muriel Onslow ( Wheldale; 31 March 1880 – 19 May 1932) was a British biochemist, born in Birmingham, England. She studied the inheritance of flower colour in the common snapdragon ''Antirrhinum'' and the biochemistry of anthocyanin pigment molecules. She attended the King Edward VI High School in Birmingham and then matriculated at Newnham College, Cambridge in 1900. At Cambridge she majored in botany. Onslow later worked within William Bateson's genetic group and then Frederick Gowland Hopkins' biochemical group in Cambridge, providing her with expertise in biochemical genetics for investigating the inheritance and biosynthesis of petal colour in ''Antirrhinum''. She was one of the first women appointed as a lecturer at Cambridge, after moving to the Biochemistry department.
