Margarita Fisher (née Fischer, February 12, 1886 – March 11, 1975) was an American actress in silent motion pictures and stage productions.

[2][3] Margarita Fischer was born on February 12, 1886,[citation needed] in Missouri Valley, Iowa,[2] although a 1902 newspaper article referred to her as "a native of Silverton, Marion County", in Oregon.

[3] Her parents were Johan (later John), a first-generation German-American hotelkeeper, and later noted minstrel, and Katherine "Kate" E. Fischer (née Hageny).

[4] As a child performer, and later as an ingenue star of the stage, Fischer was widely regarded in stock company groups of the Pacific Coast.

[citation needed] After her father's death, Fischer acted in several stock companies, including one headed by Grace George.

She is well known for her role as an African-American slave girl in the Harriet Beecher Stowe three-reel epic Uncle Tom's Cabin.

It was in this role, as Eliza, that Fischer won a long-term contract with the American Film Company in Santa Barbara, California.

Other of her motion pictures of note include Lost: A Union Suit (1914), A Joke On Jane (1914), The Quest (1915), Robinson Crusoe (1917), Impossible Susan (1918), Trixie From Broadway (1919), The Thirtieth Piece of Silver (1920), and Any Woman (1925).
