Cecile Hulse Matschat (1895 - 1976) was an American geographer and botanist, known best as the author of books on gardens, gardening and the Okefenokee Swamp. Her Rivers of America book on the Suwannee River —Suwanee River: Strange Green Land (Farrar & Rinehart, 1938)— provided rare insight into the society and history of the people of the Okefenokee Swamp. Matschat was a member of the Society of Woman Geographers from 1937 to 1966.
