Mpho Andrea Tutu van Furth (born 1963) is a South African Anglican priest, author and activist. She is the daughter of Leah Tutu and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. She co-wrote two books with her father, and a biography about him with the journalist Allister Sparks. She was ordained in 2003, but the Anglican Church of South Africa will not permit her to work as a priest in the church because she is married to a woman, Marceline van Furth. In 2022, she began preaching in Amsterdam.
