Charlotte Selina Bompas (née Cox) was a nineteenth-century missionary, speaker, and memoirist active in Canada. Born in 1830, she spent much of her life engaged in missionary endeavors, which later provided the foundational material for her literary and public speaking efforts. Through her accounts, she recorded her experiences and observations of missionary life.

As a memoirist and public speaker, Bompas shared her unique perspective on the social and religious landscapes of her time. Her written work and public addresses served to inform audiences about the realities of missionary work in Canada, securing her place as a notable female voice and chronicler of her era before her death in 1917.
