Marie Seitz (19th century–20th century), also known by her nom de guerre, Emille, was a German revolutionary and activist for the Armenian cause. She is best known for her involvement in Operation Nejuik, organized by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF), which aimed to assassinate Sultan Abdul Hamid II, the primary instigator of the Hamidian massacres that resulted in the deaths of 100,000 to 300,000 Armenians.
She participated in both the planning of the plot and the final commando operation, culminating in the Abdul Hamid II assassination attempt in Yıldız. She managed to escape from the Ottoman Empire and disappear.
