Lucy Harris Feagin (January 13, 1876 – May 8, 1963) was an American teacher and founder of the Feagin School of Dramatic Art in New York City. She was the first woman to establish and operate a drama school in New York City where she taught students who later became prominent actors and actresses. Her students came from around the world. The New York League of Business and Professional Women in June 1938 named Feagin "as one of the twenty-five most outstanding career women of America".
