Susanna Mary Paull (1812–1888) was a British author and translator who published under the name Mrs. H. B. Paull. She is known for her English translations of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen and the book Swiss Family Robinson.

Susanna Mary Peakome was born in 1812 in London, the daughter of saddler William Peakome. In 1938, she married Henry Hugh Beams Paull, an Oxford-educated clergyman. Upon the loss of his voice, his wife was forced to a career in writing to support the couple, publishing dozens of religious and children's books.^{[1] [2]}

Her translations of Andersen's fairy tales have been among the most popular and widely published.^[3] Around 1900, one publisher had twelve separate editions of Paull's translations in print.^[4] Her translation was the first in English of the version of Swiss Family Robinson expanded by Isabelle de Montolieu.^[5]
