Fanny Cochrane Smith (1834–1905) was a remarkable Aboriginal Tasmanian (Palawa) woman whose life and voice became the cornerstone for the survival of Tasmanian Aboriginal culture.
She is most famous for being the first Aboriginal person to have their voice recorded, providing the only known audio record of any original Tasmanian Aboriginal language.
