Mabel Osgood Wright (1859 – 1934) was an American author. She was an early leader in the Audubon movement who wrote extensively about nature and birds.
From her beginnings as a writer about children, nature, and outdoor life, Wright's reception from the public was cordial. However, when she began to publish works of fiction, she concealed her identity as their author until they had won recognition independently, taking the pseudonym of "Barbara".
