Flora Macaulay (1859 - 1958) was a Scottish newspaper editor. She was editor of The Oban Times in Oban, Scotland.

Her father was Duncan Cameron, who was associated with the printing and stationery firm of Macniven and Cameron of Edinburgh, Scotland and the inventor of the "Waverley" pen nib. Her mother was Mary Brown Small, a descendant of the Smalls of Dirnanean. Flora's younger sister was Scottish painter Mary Cameron. Her father bought the Oban Times in 1882 and placed Flora's eldest brother as editor.

Flora firstly married Robert Blair, a minister, on 29 October 1889. They originally lived in Glasgow but they relocated to Edinburgh when Blair got a position as minister of St John's Church. They then lived at 13 Lynedoch Place near Dean Bridge.

In 1911, after the death of her first husband, Flora married Edinburgh policeman, George Macaulay. Her editorial style was very pro-Gaelic, including supporting Highland bagpipers Flora remained involved with the management of the newspaper until her death at age 99.

Her nephew, Alan Cameron, eventually succeeded her as editor.
