Gene Stratton-Porter (born Geneva Grace Stratton) was an American writer, nature photographer, and naturalist from Wabash County, Indiana. In 1917, she urged legislative support for the conservation of Limberlost Swamp and other wetlands in Indiana. Stratton-Porter was also a silent film-era producer who founded her own production company, Gene Stratton Porter Productions, in 1924.

She wrote several best-selling novels and contributed columns to national magazines such as McCall's and Good Housekeeping. Her novels have been translated into more than twenty languages, including Braille, and during their peak in the 1910s, they attracted an estimated 50 million readers. Eight of her novels, including A Girl of the Limberlost, were adapted into moving pictures. Stratton-Porter was also the subject of a one-woman play, A Song of the Wilderness.

Two of her former homes in Indiana are state historic sites: the Limberlost State Historical Site in Geneva and the Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site on Sylvan Lake, near Rome City, Indiana.
