Cornelia Alice Norris (née Norris; August 27, 1857 – June 22, 1935) was an American socialite, clubwoman, and genealogist. Born into an affluent farming family in Wake County, North Carolina, she married Matthew Tyson Norris, a wealthy dry goods merchant and cotton factor, and lived in the Norris-Heartt House, a mansion in downtown Raleigh that was deeded to her by her parents. She was known for her elegant soirées, which were written about in the local papers. Norris was active in women's organizations including the Ladies Auxiliary of the Young Men's Christian Association and Sunday school at First Baptist Church. She was the founding Regent of the Caswell-Nash Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and worked as a genealogist in her later life.
