Dame Isobel Baillie, DBE (9 March 1895 – 24 September 1983), néeIsabella Douglas Baillie, was a Scottish soprano.
She made a local success in Manchester, where she was brought up, and in 1923 made a successful London debut. Her career, encouraged by the conductor Sir Hamilton Harty, quickly developed, with breaks in the first years for vocal study in Milan.
Baillie's career was almost wholly as a concert singer: she only once acted in an opera production on stage. Sh
