Eleanor Cowie [Ellen Cowie] Mears (née Loudon; 9 December 1917 – 18 May 1992) was a Scottish medical practitioner and campaigner. She began working in the medical practice when she took over the London practice of a male doctor who was enlisted for the war effort. Mears became popular with the women in her cachement area who discussed their gynaelogocial problems in a way they could not do so with male doctors. She later moved to Christchurch, New Zealand after the Second World War before returning to London in 1954 and becoming the Family Planning Association's first medical secretary and was then made the Planned Parenthood Federation's medical secretary. Mears was a fellow of both the Royal Society of Medicine and the Society for Endocrinology and was a medical campaigner on abortion and euthanasia issues.
