Emily Nonnen (1812, London, Great Britain - 1905, Gothenburg, Sweden), was a British-Swedish writer, translator and artist.
She was the sister of Mary, Charlotte, Ann and Edward Nonnen. She moved to her maternal uncle in Sweden from Great Britain as a child. She wrote novels for young adults and translated English literature to Swedish, among them Alice in wonderland by Lewis Carroll.
The Nonnensgatan (Nonnenstreet) in Bö in Gothenburg was named after the Nonnen sisters in 1944.
