Eleanor (Nelly) Brennan, (26 January 1792 – 23 January 1859) was a Manx washerwoman who became instrumental in the introduction of the practices of nursing on the Isle of Man. She came to prominence during the cholera outbreaks which affected the town of Douglas in 1832 and 1833 in which she nursed those suffering from the disease. This has led to her becoming known as the "Florence Nightingale of the Isle of Man."
