Gladys Caldwell Fisher (April 6, 1907 – April 18, 1952) was an American sculptor, born in Loveland, Colorado and based in Denver.

Caldwell Fisher, primarily an animalier, began the serious study of sculpture with Denver sculptor Robert Garrison at the Beaux-Arts Atelier in Denver, before moving on to New York City and Paris to study with Alexander Archipenko, Jose de Creeft and Aristide Maillol.

Among her better known works are two Rocky Mountain sheep created as part of a Treasury Relief Art Project commission for the Byron White United States Courthouse in Denver, in 1936.

In 1936, she married well known Denver architect Alan Fisher.

Her work can also be found at the Denver Art Museum, the Denver Public Library and at the City and County Building in Denver.
