Zelia Maria Magdalena Nuttall (6 September 1857, San Francisco – 12 April 1933, Coyoacán, Mexico) was an American archaeologist and anthropologist specialised in pre-Aztec Mexican cultures and pre-Columbian manuscripts.
She discovered two forgotten manuscripts of this type in private collections, one of them being the Codex Zouche-Nuttall.
She was one of the first to identify and recognise artefacts dating back to the pre-Aztec period.
