Emilie Kempin-Spyri (born March 18, 1853, in Altstetten; died April 12, 1901, in Basel; née Spyri, married name Kempin) was the first woman in Switzerland to graduate with a law degree and to be accepted as an academic lecturer. However, as a woman she was not permitted to practice as an attorney. She emigrated to New York where she taught at a law school she established for women, Woman's Law Class of New York University. She was the niece of the author Johanna Spyri.
