Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop (December 19, 1831 – October 16, 1884), born Bernice Pauahi Paki, was an ali?i (noble) of the Royal Family of the Kingdom of Hawaii and a well known philanthropist.
At her death, her estate was the largest private landownership in the Hawaiian Islands, comprising approximately 9% of Hawaii's total area.
The revenues from these lands are used to operate the Kamehameha Schools, which were established in 1887 according to Pauahi's will.
Pauahi was married to businessman and philanthropist Charles Reed Bishop.
