Eliza Osborne (née Wright; September 3, 1829 – July 19, 1911) was an American suffragist and feminist, who became vice president of the New York Woman Suffrage Association.[1][2]

The niece and daughter, respectively, of prominent women's rights activists Lucretia Mott and Martha Coffin Wright, she was also a colleague of suffragists Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and the Rev. Anna Howard Shaw,[3] and was credited by her contemporaries with having helped to expand the women's suffrage movement across the nation and with the founding of the Women's Education and Industrial Union in Auburn, New York.[4]
