Martha Tracy Owler (1852 – October 3, 1916) was an American journalist and writer. During 1891–95, she was foreign correspondent for the Boston Herald. Her letters to the Herald from Europe were in great demand, as were her art sketches for another Boston publication, written over a pen name. She had an intense love of beautiful art, and although she never posed as an art critic, her articles were quoted from and copied in New York and other papers as art criticisms. Scholars said that her language was like that of Washington Irving.
