Lucy Hamilton Hooper (née, Jones; January 20, 1835 – August 31, 1893) was an American poet, journalist, editor, playwright, and translator.

She contributed regularly to newspapers and magazines, and was associate editor of Our Daily Fare, issued in connection with the fair held by the U.S. Sanitary Commission in Philadelphia in 1864, and to which she presented the first hundred copies of a small collection of her poems published in that year.

In 1864, a small collection of her poems was published by Frederick Leypoldt, the first 100 copies of the edition being presented by the author to the Great Central Fair for the benefit of the United States Sanitary Commission, which was then in progress in Philadelphia.

[5] An original novel, called Under the Tricolor, and a four-act drama, entitled Helen's Inheritance, were other literary works of important character.

The latter was first produced in June, 1888, in a French version, in the Théâtre d'Application, in Paris, Nettie Hooper playing the part of the heroine, continuing in the role when the piece was brought out by A. M. Palmer in the Madison Square Theatre, in New York City, in December, 1889.
