Zealia Brown-Reed Bishop (1897 – 1968) was an American writer of short stories.
Her stories appeared in the magazine Weird Tales. However, they were extensively revised by H. P. Lovecraft to the point of being ghostwritten. At the time of Lovecraft's demise she owed an exorbitant amount to her ghostwriter and never paid him leaving Lovecraft in crushing poverty.
Her name is sometimes spelt 'Zelia'.
