Espiritista y escritora rusa. Después de un breve matrimonio estudió ocultismo y espiritismo y viajó por Europa, Asia y EE.UU. En 1873, estando en Nueva York, colaboró estrechamente con Henry Olcott (1832–1907); ambos, junto con otras personas, fundaron la Sociedad Teosófica (1875; ver
teosofía). En 1879, Blavatsky y Olcott fueron a India y establecieron su sede en Adyar. La Sociedad Teosófica prosperó y la señora Blavatsky editó un periódico,
The Theosophist. Sostenía poseer poderes psíquicos, pero en 1885 la Sociedad londinense de investigación psíquica la declaró un fraude. Con su salud deteriorada regresó a vivir a Europa. Su obra más importante,
La doctrina secreta (1888), es una síntesis de las enseñanzas teosóficas.
