Elizabeth Renner

Elizabeth Renner (died 1826) was a Canadian-born missionary teacher who taught in Sierra Leone.

She emigrated from Nova Scotia to Freetown, Sierra Leone, in 1792.

In 1804, she became the housekeeper of the Melchior Renner of Württemberg, who was one of the first three missionaries sent to Africa and Freetown by the British Anglican Church Mission Society (CMS) that same year.

She was the first female teacher and principal of a girls' school in the missionary in Africa.

Her school had many students from the elite Euro-African families of the region.
