Caroline Rebecca Le Count (c. 1846 – January 24, 1923; often written as LeCount) was an American educator and civil rights activist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Her father, James LeCount, was a cabinet maker and undertaker who was probably involved in the Underground Railroad, as stories have been passed down about him hiding slaves in coffins.

[1][2][3] Caroline began school at a young age and graduated at the top of her five-person class from the Institute for Colored Youth in 1863.

[1] The historian Daniel R. Biddle noted that "Caroline Le Count did almost the same thing as Rosa Parks did, but her streetcar in 1867 was powered by a horse.

"[13] When the city passed a law in 1867 banning segregation on public transport, LeCount successfully brought charges against a driver who wouldn't let her ride.
