Hannah Northcote (née Coley) (c. 1761 – 9 September 1831) was an English silversmith. She was the daughter of Simeon Coley, a bucklemaker, and was named as an heir when he died on 22 June 1798, along with two sisters and a brother. She married Thomas Northcote, a spoonmaker, on 12 January 1788. After his death, she became a goldsmith, registering her first mark on 6 June 1798 and a second on 3 December 1799. She lived in Clerkenwell at Barkley Street, and by March 1800 she had moved to 9 Cross Street, Hatton Garden. She died in 1831 and was buried at Bunhill Fields, where a monument was raised in her honor. Many of her pieces survive, including a George III teapot stand dated 1809 that is owned by the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
