Mary Theresa Hart (January 7, 1872 – February 25, 1942) was an American artist and illustrator. She was known for portraits of sitters as prominent as her father, the Hudson River School painter James McDougal Hart and the writers William Austin Dickinson (Emily Dickinson's brother) and Zoe Anderson Norris; and for children's book and magazine illustrations. In the early 1900s she was considered "one of the best women artists" in New York.
