Beryl Agatha Gilroy (née Answick; 30 August 1924 – 4 April 2001) was a Guyanese teacher, novelist, an ethno-psychotherapist, and poet who has been described as "one of Britain's most significant post-war Caribbean migrants", part of the so-called "Windrush generation".
Born in what was then British Guiana, she moved in the 1950s to the United Kingdom, where she became the first black headteacher in London.
She was the wife of Patrick Gilroy, and the mother of academic Paul Gilroy, and Darla Gilroy.
