Edith Flack Ackley Wengenroth (6 June 1887 – 28 November 1970) was an American writer and doll maker and designer.

She was born in Greenport, New York. She made her first dolls for her daughter.[1][2] When her daughter, Telka, was older she did water color paintings that were portraits of Ackley's dolls.[2] Ackley went on to make dolls as a source of income,[3][4] and had her own doll shop.[1] Ackley's dolls have been shown in the Wenham Museum and the Children's Museum of Cleveland.[1]
