Sarah Elizabeth Richmond (1843 - 1921) was a teacher and fourth principal of Maryland State Normal School (now Towson University).

She was the second person to enroll at the Maryland State Normal School in its opening year, and was in the first graduating class. Miss Richmond's 55 years of consecutive service to the Normal School began in 1866, when M.A. Newell asked her to return to MSNS to teach mathematics. Within a few years, Sarah Richmond was made Vice Principal of the Normal School, and by 1909, at age 66, Miss Richmond became the School's first female principal. She remained principal until 1917 when she resigned to become Dean of the school. She died in 1921. In addition to being the driving force in moving the School to its current Towson locale, Sarah Richmond raised entrance requirements, expanded the curriculum and created new departments.
