Louise Herschman Mannheimer (3 September 1845 - December 17, 1920) was a Czech-American Jewish author, poet, school founder, and inventor. Born in Prague, Bohemia, childhood memories and home influence combined to arouse and maintain in her feelings of deep attachment to her people. As the wife of Professor Sigmund Mannheimer, she strongly seconded his teaching and communal work, both in Rochester, New York and in Cincinnati, Ohio. During a busy lifetime in which home life was never secondary, she found time for literary labors.{{sfn|American Hebrew Publishing Company|1921|p=525}} She wrote poems for German and English periodicals, including the prize poem, The Harvest. She was the author of, How Joe Learned to Darn Stockings, and other juvenile stories. She translated Nahida Remy's The Jewish Woman, and was the composer of The Maiden's Song.{{sfn|Adler|Szold|1904|p=149-50}}

Mannheimer worked as a director of a private school, in Prague; teacher of a Sabbath School, Congregation Berith Kodesh, in Rochester; and teacher, Mrs. Leopold Weil's School, New York City. She was a contralto at the Temple Ahawath Chesed, New York; Sabbath School teacher, Temple Shaare Emeth, St. Louis, Missouri; president German Women's Club, Rochester; founder and president, Boys' Industrial School, Cincinnati. Mannheimer invented the Pureairin Patent Ventilator. She was a speaker at 1893 World's Columbian Exposition Congress of History and Congress of Religions, in Chicago; and for Mothers' Meetings, in Cincinnati.{{sfn|Adler|Szold|1904|p=149-50}}
