Cecil Evelyn Aufrere (Mick) Cook (1897-1985) was an Australian doctor appointed as Chief Protector of Aborigines for the Northern Territory in 1927. He was born in England, and studied there, but primarily lived in Australia from 1898 onward. He founded the Nurses' Board of North Australia and several hospitals. He irritated Alice Springs residents by urging them to allow Aboriginal patients in a proposed hospital and by allowing a Catholic mission. He also sought to protect "full-bloods" from unauthorized visitors.
