Elizabeth Margaret Chandler (December 24, 1807 – November 2, 1834) was an American poet and writer from Pennsylvania and Michigan. She became the first female writer in the United States to make the abolition of slavery her principal theme, marking her as a significant figure in the antebellum American literary landscape. Chandler's work not only emphasized the moral wrongs of slavery but also advocated for women's rights, intertwining both causes in her poetry and writings. Despite her early death at the age of 26, Chandler's contributions to American literature and social reform have left a lasting legacy.
