Mary MacLeod McConnel was a Scottish settler in the Australian colony of Queensland, who founded Brisbane's first children's hospital in 1878; it became the Royal Children's Hospital, Brisbane in 1883.

The Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) was a hospital for children in Herston, Brisbane, Australia. RCH was located next to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital before it was demolished and the land was used to build the Surgical, Treatment and Rehabilitation Service (STARS).
