Angela Gweneth Woollacott (born 1955) is an Australian historian who has contributed to the history of the British Empire and Australia. She has written many books and journal articles, as well as a series of Australian history textbooks, served on the editorial boards for Journal of Women's History, Journal of British Studies, and Lilith: A Feminist History Journal, and served on the international advisory board for Settler Colonial Studies. She is a past president of the Australian Historical Association.

A review said of one of Woollacott's books, "Woollacott has written a stimulating and thought-provoking study of the nature and dynamics of settler colonialism in the southern colonies. It sets an agenda for new research and will prompt historians to re-examine many of their assumptions about colonial society in Australia."
