Norah M. Titley (1920–2010) was a British scholar of Persian manuscripts and miniature painting from Persia, India and Turkey.

Titley joined the Department of Oriental Manuscripts at the British Museum from 1950. Shifting with her department to the British Library as that institution emerged in the 1970s, she retired from service in 1983.^[1]

The product of many years of study, Titley's most celebrated work was a translation and comprehensive analysis of the Ni'matnāmah published in 2005.^[2]
