Margaret Jope (1913–2004) adalah seorang ahli biokimia Skotlandia, yang lahir dengan nama Henrietta Margaret Halliday di Peterhead, Skotlandia.

Ia mendapatkan gelarnya dalam bidang kimia di Universitas Aberdeen, dan meraih gelar D.Phil.-nya di Kolese Somerville, Oxford. Ia bertemu suami masa depannya Martyn Jope saat bekerja di Laboratorium Dyson Perrins di Universitas Oxford. Setelah mereka menikah, Margaret ikut Martyn ke Belfast, di mana ia kemudian menjadi Profesor Arkeologi di Queen's University.

Margaret melanjutkan penelitiannya saat di Belfast, di Departemen Geologi, di mana ia bekerja utamanya pada brakiopoda, khsusunya tentang protein kerang mereka.^[1] Penelitiannya yang lain meliputi kristalisasi dari haemoglobin,^[2] dan bekerja dengan Martyn, membuat pembelajaran tulang hewan, khususnya tulang burung di situs-situs arkeologi utamanya di Irlandia Utara dan Oxfordshire.
