      Sarah F. Cowles Little (March 6, 1838 – January 16, 1912) was an American educator from the U.S. state of Ohio. She served as Superintendent of the Wisconsin School for the Blind and Visually Impaired in Janesville, Wisconsin.

      As her home was in proximity of Oberlin College, her opportunities for education were readily available. She was graduated in the classical course in 1859, with the degree of B. A., followed by that of M. A. within a few years. Little commenced teaching at the age of 15 years in a district school near her home. She taught during several college vacations, and was also employed as a teacher in the preparatory department of Oberlin College during the later years of her education.
