Anna Elvira Bliss (January 14, 1843 – June 25, 1925) was an American teacher in South Africa.
She grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts, and taught in local schools before answering a request from Andrew Murray for teachers in South Africa.
Bliss, with fellow American teacher Abbie Park Ferguson, set up the
Huguenot Seminary girls school at Wellington, Western Cape, in 1874.
The school grew in size and led to the foundation of the Huguenot University College in the 1880s.
Bliss served successively as principal of the primary school, high school and president of the college before her retirement in 1920.
