Laura Gardin Fraser (1889 - 1966) was an American sculptor and the wife of James Earle Fraser.

She was the winner of the 1931 competition to design a new quarter with George Washington on the obverse. Her winning design was ignored by the then-Treasury Secretary, Andrew Mellon, who selected a design by John Flanagan. Fraser's design was coined as a commemorative five-dollar gold piece in 1999.
