Alice Carter Cook (April 8, 1868 – June 14, 1943), born Alice Carter, was an American botanist, who in 1888 received from Syracuse University the first PhD in botany granted to a woman by any American university. Carter was born in New York City on to parents Samuel Thompson Carter and Alantha Carter (née Pratt). Her father was a clergyman of nearby Huntington, New York. She studied at Mount Holyoke Seminary (now Mount Holyoke College) before enrolling at Syracuse for her doctorate. She subsequently taught at Mount Holyoke for three years before attending Cornell University where she earned a second graduate degree, an M.S. in botany, in 1892. That same year she married fellow botanist Orator Fuller Cook, and later accompanied him on expeditions to Africa and the Canary Islands.
