Lady Olwen Phillis Frances Brogan (née Kendall; 15 December 1900 - died 18 December 1989;[1] later Hackett) was a British archaeologist and authority on Roman Libya. She attended University College London and later taught there.

Although known for Roman Libyan studies initially she did work on Germanic peoples relationship to the Roman Empire and also the Battle of Gergovia. Her career at UCL was somewhat effected by having four children with her first husband, Denis William Brogan.[2][3]

After her first husband's death she married Charles Hackett, also widowed, who supported her work in Libyan archaeology.[4]
