Matilda Booker (born Matilda V. Mosley; September 18, 1887 – June 27, 1957) was an American educator. Born in Halifax County to parents Killis Mosley and Tamara Smith Mosley, Booker began her education at thirteen, going on to become supervisor of two counties' then-segregated Black school districts. Her work in fundraising, advocating, and community-building led to the renovation of dilapidated school buildings, the building of new schools, the expansion of education offerings to include high school level programming, the funding of public transportation and dental clinics, and the equalization of salaries between Black and white educators. In 1940 Virginia State University (then Virginia State College for Negroes) presented Booker with a certificate of merit for her achievements in education. She died of heart disease in 1957.
