Aagot Henny Lading née Petersen (5 July 1909, Aarhus—15 July 1963, Copenhagen) was a Danish schoolteacher, headmistress and women's rights activist. After graduating in English and history, she was a prominent member of the Danish Women's Society where she edited Kvinden & Samfundet. In 1950, she became principal of Rysensteen Gymnasium where she emphasized women's history in the school's history lessons.
