Pelagie Doane Hoffner (April 11, 1906 – December 9, 1966) was an American illustrator and writer of children's books.

"For many generations there has been a Pelagie in the family," explained one profile, about her unusual given name.

[8] A Small Child's Bible (1946), with seventy stories written and illustrated by Doane, was described as "a standard" in 1960.

[9] "Here is a book that both child and parent can read together with pleasure," remarked a 1952 reviewer about her A Book of Nature, a child's guide to flora and fauna common in the northeastern United States.

[36] There is a box of her illustrations from three book projects at the University of Minnesota.
