Anna McClure Sholl (March 17, 1868 – April 1, 1956) was an American writer and painter.

Anna McClure Sholl was born on March 17, 1868 in Philadelphia, daughter of William J. Sholl and Clara Corson Sholl.^[1] She attended Cornell University and began her writing career at the New York Commercial Advertiser in 1896. Sholl wrote in a wide variety of genres: poetry, short stories, magazine articles, book reviews, fairy tales, and mystery novels. She converted to Catholicism in 1916 and some of her work is about religious subjects.

Her short story "The Black Roses" was published in The Black Cat in March 1904. Compared to "Rappaccini's Daughter", the story concerns a scientist who uses his laboratory to subject roses to poisons which turn the flowers black.^[2]

Anna McClure Sholl died on April 1, 1956 in New York City.^{[3] [4]}
