The Birmingham Ladies Society for the Relief of Negro Slaves, also known as the Birmingham and West Bromwich Ladies Society for the Relief of Negro Slaves,^[1] was founded in Birmingham, England, on 8 April 1825. It was the first anti-slavery society for women, and sometimes referred to as the Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society. Lucy Townsend and Mary Lloyd were the first joint secretaries, while other founding members included Elizabeth Heyrick, Sophia Sturge and Sarah Wedgwood.^[2]

The society was supported by the Society for the Mitigation and Gradual Abolition of Slavery Throughout the British Dominions (Anti-Slavery Society).^[1]

Around 1830, it became the Female Society for Birmingham.^[3] By 1831 there were over seventy similar anti-slavery organisations.^[2]
