Lucille Douglass (November 4, 1878, Tuskegee, Alabama - September 26, 1935, Andover, Massachusetts) was an American painter, etcher, and lecturer.

Often sickly during her childhood, Lucille Douglass read exotic travel books such as the Zig-Zag Journeys of Hezekiah Butterworth.

[3] In 1908 she formed the Birmingham Art Club with seven other female artists, who included Delia Dryer, Hannah Elliot, and Carrie Hill.

Her teachers in Paris included Lucien Simon, René Menard and Alexander Charles Robinson.

She organized and supervised a workshop in Shanghai, where Chinese women hand-colored photographic slides for the missionary society.

Women were intentionally chosen as employees and were given opportunities to learn English and in some cases tuition to attend school.

[6] Douglass formed close friendships with writers Florence Wheelock Ayscough[8] and Helen Churchill Candee.

During the winter of 1928–1929, she was a faculty member on the SS President Wilson, teaching art history, drawing and painting on a "floating university" that sailed around the world.
