Sophie Lewis Drinker (née Hutchinson; August 24, 1888 – September 6, 1967) was an American musicologist and feminist. She published several books on the role of women in the history of music and colonial America. The Sophie Drinker Institute, established in Bremen, Germany, in 2001 as an independent research facility specializing in women's musicological studies and gender research, was named in her honor.
