Louise Harrison McCraw (February 1893 – January 25, 1975) was an American writer and philanthropist.

She graduated from the Women's College of Richmond in 1911 and moved home to Buckingham County to teach school.
Together the couple established the Braille Circulating Library in 1925; its first headquarters were in McCraw's rented room.
By 1951 McCraw was sending books, free, to nearly 1,800 borrowers both in the United States and in eighteen countries.
