Phyllis Pearsall, MBE (25 September 1906, London – 28 August 1996, West Sussex) was a painter and writer who ran the Geographers' A to Z Company. She is often mis-credited with 'creating London's first A to Z', a claim repeated in her autobiography but easily refuted by reference to Bartholomew's Reference Atlas of London and Suburbs, which was published and widely available in the early 1920s.
