Maude Lloyd (16 August 1908 in Cape Town, South Africa – 26 November 2004) was a South African ballerina and dance critic.
She studied classical ballet under Helen Webb in Cape Town, South Africa. She came to London in 1926 to study, and helped form the Ballet Rambert. The lead roles in many ballets by Frederick Ashton, Antony Tudor and Andrée Howard were created for her. She married Nigel Gosling in 1939 and retired the following year. She worked with her husband as a dance critic under the joint name of Alexander Bland and they collaborated to write several books on the history of ballet.
