Elizabeth Evelyn Wright (April 3, 1872 – December 14, 1906) was an American humanitarian and educator, founding several schools for black children.

After two years, Wright moved to Hampton County, South Carolina, to assist in a rural school for black children.

Inspired by her experience at Tuskegee and knowing the importance of education, Wright started several schools in the area of Denmark, but they failed due to arson, jealousy, or other reasons.

Ralph Voorhees and his wife, philanthropists from Clinton, New Jersey, donated $5,000 for the purchase of land and construction of the school's first building.

Shortly after her marriage, she became ill. She went to the well-known Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan for medical treatment but died there on December 14, 1906.
