Bríd Dixon (born 13 February 1893) was an Irish nationalist and republican who was one of the women in the GPO during the Easter Rising of 1916.

Dixon and her sisters attended Irish College in Ballingeary on several occasions.

She took part in the usual activities, learning first aid and marching at major events like the O'Donovan Rossa funeral.

Dixon was a founder member of Na bAisteoiri - a Dramatic Society for the production of plays in the Irish Language.

On Wednesday she was sent out as a messenger with ammunition for Father Mathew Hall in Church Street with Price.
