Fannie Isabelle Sherrick Wardell (born 31 May, 1880–1890) was an American poet, essayist, and columnist, best remembered for her romantic and philosophical poetry published in several volumes. Influenced by and a contemporary of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, she was a descendant of Moses Cleaveland and a native of St. Louis, and worked as a teacher.
A character in Henry James' The Portrait of a Lady may be referring to Sherrick's poem "Summer Rain".
