Janet Hunter Ivory, more commonly known as Netta Ivory (May 22, 1863 - August 8, 1949) was the co-founder in 1902, along with the barrister Stephen Coleridge, of the Edinburgh branch of the National Anti-Vivisection Society. This became the Scottish Cooperative Anti-Vivisection Society in 1911, and later the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Vivisection. She remained involved in this cause late in life, being named honorary secretary of the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Vivisection in their 1945 meeting, at the age of 82.
Ivory was the daughter of William Ivory, sheriff of Inverness-shire, and granddaughter of James Ivory (1792-1860), the Scottish judge.
