Archie Ebenezer Perkins (June 21, 1879 – April 19, 1946) was a teacher, principal and author in Mississippi and Louisiana who wrote about subjects related to African Americans. He wrote for periodicals and had several books published.

He was a native of Smithdale, Mississippi. He graduated from Alcorn University (now Alcorn State University) near Lorman, Mississippi;[1] he received an MA degree from New Orleans University; and an LLD degree from Wilberforce University in Ohio. He was principal of the Danneel Negro School.[2][3]

In 1953 Perkins Primary School, a newly constructed school for African Americans in Biloxi, Mississippi, was named after him.[4][5][6]

He arranged for musical performances at Danneel Elementary.[7]
