Natalie Curtis Burlin (26 April 1875 in New York City – 23 October 1921 in Paris) was an American ethnomusicologist.
Curtis, along with Alice Cunningham Fletcher and Frances Densmore, was one of a small group of women doing important ethnological studies in North America at the beginning of the 20th century.
She is remembered for her transcriptions and publication of traditional music of Native American tribes as well as for having published a four-volume collection of African-American music.
With her young death in 1921, Curtis wasn't able to fully close out her career and bring her works together.
