Henriette Tilly (19th century-20th century), was a French seamstress, anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist activist. Close to syndicalist circles, she became the treasurer or president of the Comité Féminin, the most significant anarcha-feminist organization in Paris in the early 1910s.
She is also known, alongside Jane Morand, for having greatly influenced the anarchist cooperative Le Cinéma du Peuple, which she helped found, in its focus on feminist themes. Her influence enabled the creation of the first feminist film in history, Les Misères de l’aiguille.
