Fidelia Bridges (1834-1923) est une artiste américaine.

Fidelia Bridges (1834-1923) was one of the small number of successful female artists in the 19th and early 20th centuries. She was a painter and illustrator, capturing small aspects of nature: flowers, birds, and other plants in their natural settings. She first was an oil painter and later took up watercolor painting. She was known for her delicately detailed paintings. She was considered a watercolor expert and specialist. She was the only woman in the group of seven notable 19th-century artists in the American Watercolor Society. Her illustrations were published in books, magazines and were used for greeting cards.
