Mount Hermon Female Seminary (1875-1924) in Clinton, Mississippi was a historically black institution of higher education for women.

Founded in 1875 by Sarah Ann Dickey, the school was patterned after Dickey's alma mater Mount Holyoke Female Seminary (now Mount Holyoke College).

The Seminary was eventually closed in 1924 by the American Missionary Association, which had its own college in Tougaloo, Mississippi.
