Helen Sherman Griffith (1873 - July 13, 1961) was an American author.

Helen's bedroom has been restored and is part of the Hoyt Sherman Place house museum.

In 1914 she paid a visit to Des Moines Women's Club which was located in Hoyt Sherman Place, her childhood home.

An article in the Des Moines Register captured the occasion: "It was at the close of the program that Mrs. Cowles told the delightful news that the Women's Club... board... had voted to dedicate the auditorium on the second floor of the club house to Mrs. Helen Sherman Griffith.

"[4] She wrote three plays in 1899: The Minister's Wife, The Burglar Alarm, and A Borrowed Luncheon.
