Madge Morris Wagner (née Morris; 1862-1924) was an American poet and journalist associated with The Golden Era.

Madge Morris was born April 25, 1862, on the Great Plains when her parents were enroute to California. She was a descendant of Capt. Morris, who built Fort Morris, in Virginia.

She was educated in the common schools.

Early on, Wagner became a journalist and poet. Her patriotic poem "Liberty Bell" led to the construction of the Columbian Liberty Bell. From 1885 to 1895, she was the editor of The Golden Era, to which Bret Harte, Joaquin Miller, and Mark Twain were constant contributors. Wagner is the author of Débris, a Book of Poems (San Francisco, 1881); Mystery of Carmel, and other Poems (1885); and a novel, The Titled Plebeian (1890).
