Agnes Catlow (1807-1889) was a British Science writer best known for her popular book on conchology, the study of mollusk shells. Catlow was part of a group of mid-Victorian-era women scientific writers who published mainly for children, helping to bring science education into the home. She was one of the earlier writers to publish a popular account of microscopy, which became popular in England in the 1850s.
