Clarissa Archibald "Clara" Dennis (1881 - 1958) was a Canadian photographer and writer who lived in Nova Scotia. She died in Halifax at the age of 76. Many of her photographs are now held in the collections of the Nova Scotia Archives and the Nova Scotia Museum. These thousands of images capture the people and places of her time, including a collection of images of Mi'kmaq people from that period. The daughter of Senator William Dennis and Agnes Miller, she was born in Truro and moved to Halifax with her family at a young age. She was educated at Mount Allison College, Dalhousie University and Halifax Business College. She worked for her father's newspaper, the Halifax Herald, until his death in 1920.
