Mabel Harlakenden Grosvenor (July 28, 1905 – October 30, 2006) was a Canadian-born American pediatrician. She was a granddaughter and secretary to the scientist and telephone pioneer Alexander Graham Bell. She lived in both Beinn Bhreagh, Nova Scotia and Washington, D.C.
Grosvenor oversaw the steward ship of Bell's legacy Canadian estate at Beinn Bhreagh, Baddeck, Nova Scotia, until her death, and was also the Honorary President of the Alexander Graham Bell Club (founded in 1891), Canada's oldest continuing women's club. The club grew out of a social organization started at Beinn Bhreagh, by Mabel Bell, Alexander's wife.
When Grosvenor died in 2006, at age 101, she was likely the last surviving individual to have personally known and worked with Alexander Graham Bell.
