Antonia Gransden (''née'' Morland; 7 October 1928 – 18 January 2020), English historian and medievalist, was Reader in Medieval History at the University of Nottingham. She was author of works in medieval historiography, including the massive two-volume study ''Historical Writing in England'', covering a thousand years of historical writing from the 6th to the 16th century.

Work at the British Museum fuelled her fascination with the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds. She then went on to edit the records of the abbey, resulting in a two-volume ''History of the Abbey of Bury St Edmonds'', which she completed aged 86.
