Susan "Sue" Dowdell Myrick (February 20, 1893 – September 3, 1978) was an American journalist, educator, author, and conservationist.
Her friendship with author Margaret Mitchell led to Myrick's role as technical advisor during the production of Gone with the Wind (1939), ensuring the film accurately portrayed the accents, customs, and manners of the South.
Due to this expertise she has been called the "Emily Post of the South".
