Namahyoke Sockum Curtis was an American nurse. She recruited 32 African-American nurses to serve with the US Army in the Spanish American War. The nurses were supposed to be immune to diseases common in Cuba, specifically yellow fever. Her husband was the superintendent of the Freedmen's Hospital. After the 1900 Galveston hurricane, she volunteered her services as a nurse.
After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Curtis served as a nurse on a commission from William Howard Taft.
