Susan Archer Weiss (February 14, 1822 – April 7, 1917) was an American poet, author and artist.
Losing her hearing as a child, she rarely mingled in society beyond a select circle of friends, finding her happiness in her home.
Her life was essentially that of a poet, though she also painted.
In September 1859, a collection of her poems was issued by Rudd & Carlton, of New York City.
Her name was included among those of young writers in American Female Poets, Sarah Josepha Hale's Woman's Record, and other similar works.
Weiss was a friend of Edgar Allan Poe.
