Margaret Curtis Shipp Roberts (December 17, 1846 – March 13, 1926) was an American obstetrician and one of the first women from Utah to receive a medical degree. She was urged to study medicine by Brigham Young, the leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to address increasing rates of mortality during childbirth. She worked in private practice from 1883 to 1922 and trained over 600 nurses and midwives at the Relief Society Nursing School from 1899 to 1919. In 1888, she founded and served as editor of the Salt Lake Sanitarian, one of the first medical journals in Utah. She was in a polygamous marriage to B.H. Roberts, who was elected Congressman for Utah's at-large district; however, the House of Representatives refused to seat him due to his polygamy.
