Henrietta Hardy Hammond (1854 – November 24, 1883) was an American novelist.

Henrietta Hardy Hammond was born on 1854 in Virginia.[1]

Jane Turner Censer identifies Hammond as one of a number of popular Southern novelists of the 1870s and 1880s who wrote about self-confident and self-sufficient heroines. In A Fair Philosopher, Hammond's heroine starts a philosophy reading group while supporting her family. The Georgians depicts the relationship between Félise Orlanoff, a married French countess who inherits a Georgia estate, and Marcus Laurens, a Southern lawyer.[2]

Henrietta Hardy Hammond died on November 24, 1883, in New York City.[3]
