Sallie Davis Hayden (July 12, 1842 – September 15, 1907[1]) was a suffragist in the Arizona Territory of the United States.[2]

Sallie Calvert Davis was born near Forrest City, Arkansas, on July 12, 1842,[2] to Cornelius Davis and Eliza Halbert.[3] She was a school teacher in Visalia, California, when she met Arizona businessman Charles Trumbull Hayden, whom she married on October 4, 1876.[3][4] Sallie served briefly as postmaster of Hayden's Ferry, Arizona[5][6] which was later named Tempe.[7]

Sallie was interested in politics and hosted suffragist speakers in her home at Hayden's Ferry.[5] Along with Josephine Brawley Hughes and Frances Willard Munds, Sallie was one of the founders of the suffrage movement in Arizona.[2]

Sallie was the mother of Carl Hayden, elected in 1912 as the first Representative from Arizona. In 1913, in honor of his mother, Carl introduced a joint resolution calling for women's suffrage.[8]
