Joan Elisabeth Lowther Murray(née Clarke; 24 June 1917 – 4 September 1996) was an English cryptanalyst and numismatist best known for her work as a code-breaker at Bletchley Park during World War II. Though not personally seeking the spotlight, her important role in the Enigma project against Nazi Germany's secret communications earned her awards and citations such as being appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1947.
