Hannah Cohoon (February 1, 1788 – January 7, 1864) was an American painter born in Williamstown, Massachusetts and a member of Hancock Shaker Village.
She joined that community in 1817 at the age 29.
During a time of revival known as the Era of Manifestations, she produced several drawings known as "gift drawings" - artistic works made through religious inspiration.
Her works have become iconic of Shaker religious expression.
She died in 1864 and was buried in the cemetery of the Hancock Church Family.
