Joan Alison Morice (5 October 1904 – 24 November 1944) was the first woman to qualify and practice as a veterinary surgeon in South Africa. She graduated from Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute, South Africa in 1927 and it was nineteen years later that the next woman, Maud Bales, qualified as a veterinary surgeon in South Africa. Morice immediately started a private veterinary practice which lasted until 1935. She died at an early age from cancer in 1944.
