Amy Constance Morant (1864–1918) was a British political activist who moved from liberalism to socialism. Born in Hampstead, she was the younger sister of Robert Laurie Morant. She earned scholarships to study at Bedford College, London, and Newnham College, Cambridge. In 1887–1888 she worked with unemployed people in London, which led her to join the Women's Liberal Federation and work as an organiser. She translated German works on social science and wrote poetry. In the 1890s she left the Liberal Party and joined the Independent Labour Party and the Social Democratic Federation. She wrote a pamphlet about her experience, Liberalism unveiled; or, a Creed without a Programme.
