Regitze Vilhelmine Louise Augusta Barner was a Danish noblewoman, philanthropist and writer. She is remembered for her efforts to facilitate conditions and opportunities for women, both young and old. These included her involvement in the Deaconess Foundation (Diakonissestiftelsen) and the Prison Association (Fængselsselskabet). In 1879, she founded and chaired the Society for the Protection of Single Women which was designed to prevent young women turning to prostitution. In addition to a history of the Deaconess Foundation, shortly before her death she wrote an autobiography which was published in two volumes in 1911.
