Lucy Myers Wright Mitchell (née Lucy Myers Wright; March 20, 1845 – March 10, 1888) was an American classical archaeologist, historian, and missionary who studied ancient art.

Her parents were missionaries of the Nestorian Christians in Persia (now called the Assyrian Church of the East in Iran), Catherine Myers Wright[1] and Austin Hazen Wright, a Dartmouth College alumnus.

Mitchell attended Mount Holyoke Female Seminary (now Mount Holyoke College) and left in 1864 with no degree when she was chosen to accompany her father on his return to his mission in Persia.

[1] She married Samuel S. Mitchell, who studied language and art, in 1867, and they would live in Lebanon and Germany before returning to Massachusetts.

[4] Classical archaeologist Stephen L. Dyson calls Mitchell's work "the first general American text on ancient art".
