Louise Chamberlain Herreshoff (November 29, 1876 – May 14, 1967) was an American painter and collector of porcelain. She lived for most of her life in either New York or Rhode Island, although she undertook extended art training in France at the Académie Julian. With her second husband, she collected a "little museum" of porcelain in two Providence houses. She stopped painting when her aunt, Elizabeth Dyer (maiden; 1841–1927), who had been a foster mother to her, died. Her painting style has been described as Impressionist and Fauvist.
