Emma Louisa Turner or E L Turner, FLS, MBOU (1867–1940) was an English ornithologist and pioneering bird photographer. Due to family responsibilities, she only started photography when she was aged 34 after meeting the wildlife photographer Richard Kearton. She joined the Royal Photographic Society in 1901, and by 1904 she had started to give talks illustrated with her own photographic slides, and by 1908 she was established as a professional lecturer. She spent part fo each year in Norfolk, and also travelled widely photographing birds. Her 1911 photograph of a nestling bittern in Norfolk was the first evidence of the species' return to the United Kingdom as a breeding bird after local extinction since the late 1800s.
