Portrait of Mary Peabody Mann

Mary Tyler Peabody Mann (born Cambridgeport, Massachusetts, November 16, 1806; died Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, February 11, 1887) was an American author.

She was a daughter of dentist Nathaniel Peabody, and a sister of educator Elizabeth Palmer Peabody and Sophia Peabody Hawthorne, Nathaniel Hawthorne's wife. She resided in Salem, Massachusetts, during her youth, and afterward lived for the most part in or near Boston. During the life of her husband, educator Horace Mann, she shared in all his benevolent and educational work, and her familiarity with modern languages enabled her to assist him greatly in his studies of foreign reforms. Among other topics, she wrote on the kindergarten system, also an interest of her sister Elizabeth Palmer Peabody.
