Emma Garrett (c. 1846–1893) was an American educator and advocate of teaching speech to the deaf. She established the Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb in Mount Airy, Philadelphia to teach the language to the deaf. She paired with sister, Mary Smith Garrett and established their own school by getting a grant from the federal government. Her educational methods to find how best to fully teach a deaf student can be seen through the word method in teaching which she ultimately created and is still used in educational classrooms with deaf students. Through this she was able to change the lives of many deaf students and allow them a chance of education.
