Laura Maria Sheldon Wright (July 10, 1809 – January 21, 1886) was an American missionary.

Laura Maria Sheldon was born on July 10, 1809, in St. Johnsbury, Vermont.[1] She grew up in St. Johnsbury and in Barnet, Vermont,[2] and was educated at the Young Ladies' School.[3]

She married Asher Wright on January 21, 1833, and the two moved to Buffalo Creek Reservation on February 5, 1833, to begin their mission.[1] As a missionary, Laura wrote a school primer in Seneca and English and worked as a teacher.[1][2] She also founded an organization called the Iroquois Temperance League.[3]

She died of pneumonia on January 21, 1886, in Iroquois, New York, at the home of Nicholson Henry Parker (1819–1892), a Seneca interpreter.[1][4][2]
