If a player is a Pact of the Chain Warlock and they decide to choose their familiar to be a sprite and had the Poisoner Feat, could they use that feat to apply poison to the sprite's weapons?

Yes, you can poison someone else's weapon
There is nothing in the feat that says it has to be the character's weapon, just "a weapon".
However, the first bullet point of the feat states, "When you make a damage roll that deals poison damage, it ignores resistance to poison damage", so the sprite will not get that benefit as it is tied directly to the character with the feat.

\$\begingroup\$ If the Warlock's sprite familiar has the poisoner's feat applied to their shortbow would the 3rd feature of that same feat and the other affect of the sprite's shortbow cause a creature to make two separate save throws? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 14, 2022 at 3:57
