Susanna Kaiser-Luder (born Susanna Luder; 16 September 1842 – 14 September 1938) was a Swiss teacher, home economics instructor, and merchant's wife who lived for a decade in Arequipa, Peru. She is known for an autobiographical account written in 1914 describing her life in Peru between 1866 and 1876, which offers a female perspective on the conditions of a prosperous Swiss merchant family in nineteenth-century Latin America.
