Abigail May Alcott Nieriker
(Abigail) May Alcott Nieriker (July 26, 1840 – December 29, 1879) was an American artist and the youngest sister of Louisa May Alcott. She was the basis for the character Amy (an anagram of May) in her sister's semi-autobiographical novel ''Little Women'' (1868). She was named after her mother, Abigail May, and first called Abba, then Abby, and finally May, which she asked to be called in November 1863 when in her twenties.

Her sister was the novelist Louisa May Alcott, who supported her studies in Europe and with whom she had a fond relationship, albeit at times jealous of her easy ability to get what she wanted and needed and of her family life.〔Louisa May Alcott. ''(The Journals of Louisa May Alcott )''. University of Georgia Press; 1997. ISBN 978-0-8203-1950-6. p. 12.〕
Artistic from an early age, she was the inspiration for Amy, one of the sisters in Louisa May Alcott's ''Little Women'', who was described as follows: "She was never so happy as when copying flowers, designing fairies, or illustrating stories with queer specimens of art."〔Caroline Ticknor.
