Aunt Sammy was a fictional character created by the Bureau of Home Economics of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for a popular radio show called Housekeepers' Chat. Its target audience was farm wives.

The fifteen-minute radio program was first broadcast on October 4, 1926, and by 1932, 194 stations carried it. Though the government-sponsored series lasted until 1946, the Aunt Sammy character was not used after 1934.
