Rosamund Dashwood (1924, Devonshire, UK – 2007, Squamish, BC) was the daughter of celebrated English writer E. M. Delafield, and was one of the top female masters runners in Canadian history. Dashwood was born in 1924 to Major Arthur Paul Dashwood, an engineer who built the massive docks in Hong Kong Harbour, and E.M.
