Laura Sobey Veale (30 August 1867 – 14 August 1963), known as Dr Laura, was an English general practitioner, gynaecologist, and obstetrician. She was the first Yorkshire-born woman to become a doctor. She was refused entry to Leeds School of Medicine, even though the Leeds Mercury published letters of complaint about her treatment. With encouragement from Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and support from a local boys' school she was finally accepted at the London Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine for Women, and qualified with a Bachelor of Medicine (MB) degree at the age of 37.
