Virginia Dox (October 31, 1851 – February 14, 1941) was a 19th-century American missionary, educator, and explorer in the Intermountain West, and later a noted public speaker and fundraiser for educational institutions including Whitman College and Berea College.
Under the auspices of the New West Education Commission, she founded schools in Idaho and New Mexico.
She was the first white woman to explore the Grand Canyon, and also the first white woman to visit the Havasupai.
Her vivid depictions of Western life earned her the nickname of "the female Bret Harte".
