[[File:Dora Carrington, 1910.jpg|thumb|Self-portrait]]'''Dora Carrington''' (Dora de Houghton Carrington, 1893–1932) was a painter and decorative artist. She was born in [[Hereford]] and studied at the Slade School of Art at [[University College London]]. She was generally referred to just by her surname.

Carrington had at least two lesbian affairs (with [[Henrietta Bingham]] and [[Lady Ottoline Morrell]]) but the love of her life was [[Lytton Strachey]]. In 1921 she agreed to marry [[Ralph Partridge]], not for love but to create a menage a trois, as Strachey was sexually interested in Partridge.<ref>Michael Holroyd, ''Lytton Strachey'', 1994, ISBN 0-09-933291-4 (paperback) page 485.</ref> She committed suicide two months after Strachey's death.
