Frances "Fannie" Benjamin Johnston (15 January 1864–16 May 1952) was one of the earliest American female photographers and photojournalists. During her career, she photographed such individuals as Susan B. Anthony, Mark Twain, Booker T. Washington. She was the official White House photographer for the Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, "TR" Roosevelt, and Taft presidential administrations. In 1899, she gained further notability when she was commissioned to photograph the success of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Hampton, Virginia; it was the first educational establishment to admit African and Native Americans.

Her first camera was a gift from George Eastman, a close friend of the family, and inventor of the Eastman Kodak cameras.
