Carlotta Archer (October 10, 1865 – August 27, 1946) was a Native American teacher, musician, and civil servant. She was the only woman to ever serve on the original Cherokee Nation Board of Education. She then served as the Mayes County Superintendent of Schools from 1908 to 1927, before accepting a federal post in the Bureau of Indian Affairs and serving at the Muskogee and Pryor agencies as deputy field clerk until 1941. After her retirement from civil service, she worked as a librarian and executive secretary of the Red Cross. She was one of the first women to hold elective office in the state of Oklahoma.
