Annette Finnigan (1873 – July 17, 1940) was an American suffragette, philanthropist, and patron of the arts.

In 1888, as a result of John Finnigan Hide Company's success, the family moved east to oversee his operations in New York City.

She enrolled at Wellesley College, where she studied languages, rhetoric, art history, and the sciences.

Despite their first effort to get a woman on the school board failing, she viewed it as a success, saying that it had highlighted “the importance of selecting persons of the highest intelligence, broadest culture and noblest character to guide the education of the city's children.”[1] Finnigan was president of the Hotel Brazos in 1907.

As the suffrage movement gained support, she suffered a serious stroke but continued in all her roles.
