Sarah Louise "Sadie" Delany (September 19, 1889 – January 25, 1999) was an American educator and civil rights pioneer.

Sadie was the first African American to teach domestic science at the high-school level in the New York public schools.

She was raised on the campus of St. Augustine's School (now University) in Raleigh, North Carolina, where her father was the vice principal and her mother a teacher and administrator.

She was the first black person permitted to teach domestic science on the high school level in New York City.

[citation needed][1] Delany died at the age of 109 in Mount Vernon, New York, where she resided in the final decades of her life.
