Nancy Hatch Dupree (Pashto: نانسي دوپري, romanized: Nansi dupri; October 3, 1927 – September 10, 2017) was an American historian whose work primarily focused on the history of modern Afghanistan.

Her mother, a Broadway actress, was drawn to Indian art and theatrical dance forms and embarked on the first PhD on Kathakali in the British Raj by a foreign scholar.

First married to an American intelligence officer, Alan D. Wolfe, posted in Ceylon (present day Sri Lanka), she later moved with her husband to the First Iraqi Republic, then Pakistan, and finally the Kingdom of Afghanistan in 1962.

In order to preserve these works and to teach them to a new generation, she and Louis formed the Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief (ACBAR).

They began to collect both government and non-government documents that related to the country's history, culture, the Soviet-Afghan War, the Mujahedeen, and the Taliban.

According to The Economist, "her networking prowess was so notorious that she was once approached, to see if she could help with permits to dig tunnels in Kabul, by the young Osama bin Laden.

She and her colleagues were concerned for their own safety and that of ACBAR's collection, which by 1999 consisted of 7,739 titles written in Pashto, Dari (Persian), French, German, Norwegian, and Swedish.

When University of Arizona Librarian Atifa Rawan knew Nancy personally and her collections moved back to Kabul from Pershaw, Pakistan in 2005 by the invitation from Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai.
