Hiram Fuller (born in Halifax, Massachusetts, September 6, 1814; died November 19, 1880)[1] was an American journalist and educator.

In this capacity, he nurtured the local literary scene by publishing The Rhode Island Book (1841), which was edited by Anne Charlotte Lynch.

The three afterward established the Daily Mirror, of which Fuller became sole proprietor, and edited it for 14 years.

For the Mirror, Fuller wrote for a series of clever society letters from Newport, under the pen name of “Belle Brittan.” An attack on Edgar Allan Poe which he republished involved him in a libel action against him by that author; Poe won a $225 award.

Fuller went abroad at the beginning of the American Civil War, espoused the Confederate cause, and established the Cosmopolitan newspaper in London.
