Kate Marion Hall (1861 – 1918) was a British museum curator.[1]

She was curator of the Whitechapel Museum from 1895 to 1909,[2] and founded the Nature Study Museum, in a disused chapel of St George in the East church, in 1904.[1]

In 1905 she was one of the speakers in the Horniman Museum's series of lectures, speaking on "The life of the honey bee", "The work of the honey bee", and "Trees".[3]

In 1901 she read a paper "The Smallest Museum" at the Edinburgh Conference of the Museums Association.[4][5]
