The bank said it was proud to highlight her "remarkable work" in medicine and fighting for women's rights.
Born in Dumfries in 1869, she qualified as a doctor in 1905 and was awarded a CBE for her work and medical efforts during World War One.
Along with her partner, Louisa Garrett-Anderson, she founded the Women's Hospital for Children in London.
It provided healthcare for children of factory and shop workers in the local area, because women were restricted to treating only women and children.
When the war began in 1914, the women founded the Women's Hospital Corps, a feminist organisation, and opened two successful military hospitals in France, staffed entirely by female suffragettes.
In 1915, the British War Office provided them with a premises in London.
Together they transformed it into the Endell Street Military Hospital, the first hospital in the UK established for men by female medical professionals.
There they treated more than 50,000 seriously injured soldiers and saved countless lives.
Caroline Clarke, chief executive of the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, said the note gave Dr Murray "her rightful place in the pantheon of British medical history".
