Nora Chesson (2 January 1871 – 14 April 1906), born as Eleanor Jane Hopper, was an English poet, born in Exeter of an Irish father, Capt. Harman Baillie Hopper. She was a participant in the Irish literary movement of the 1890s, having some influence on W. B. Yeats in particular with her Ballads in Prose (1894).
In 1901, she married the English man of letters Wilfrid Hugh Chesson (1870–1953), becoming "Nora Chesson". She provided the English translation to Thadgh O'Donoghue's libretto for the Irish opera Muirgheis (1903) by Thomas O'Brien Butler (1861–1915).
Although the Irish element in her work is acquired and incidental, there is a distinct if somewhat fitful race consciousness in Ballads in Prose (1894) and Under Quickened Boughs (1896). She died suddenly April 14, 1906.
