Charlotte Kemp (27 July 1790-22 June 1860) was a missionary for the Church of England, co-founding the second Church Mission Station in New Zealand in 1819.^[1]

She was born Charlotte Butcher in Carlton Forehoe, Norfolk, England in 1790. She married James Kemp in 1818 and they sailed to Kerikeri, New Zealand the following year. She was one of the first European women to arrive in the Bay of Islands. The first six years at the missionary coincided with the Musket Wars and civil unrest at the mission station between Thomas Kendall and John Gare Butler. Despite this strain on the missionary community the following years saw the establishment of the first schools. Charlotte Kemp taught in the girls and infants school, also teaching girls in domestic skills at her own home.

While at the station she had 8 children. In 1835 the death of one of her children at 7 months old compiled with a proposed move for the family to establish a new mission station in Tauranga led to her having a mental breakdown. This led to the family remaining at the Kerikeri mission station, becoming the only missionaries to remain there after 1840. Her health kept the family at Kerikeri until her death in 1860.^[2]

Remaining in Kerikeri meant the Kemp family were uniquely situated during the land wars, being among few Europeans who stayed in the Bay of Islands during the land wars, in 1845 they assisted in tending the wounded.^[1]
