Ida Elizabeth Dixon (December 25, 1854 – November 22, 1916) was an American socialite and golf course architect from Pennsylvania. She was the first female golf course architect in the United States and perhaps in the world. She designed the Springhaven Country Club golf course in Wallingford, Pennsylvania in 1904.
