Sophia Goudstikker (15 January 1865 – 20 March 1924) was a Dutch-born German photographer and feminist pioneer.
She was one of the premier women's rights activists in Munich at the turn of the century and a business partner and companion of Anita Augspurg.
When their partnership dissolved, Goudstikker became a more moderate feminist and partnered with Ika Freudenberg.
Goudstikker was the inspiration for three different writers' depictions of a more masculine woman, who defied typical feminine characterizations.
She was the first unmarried German woman to obtain a royal license for photography and the first German woman allowed to argue cases before the youth court.
