Marjory Stoneman Douglas (April 7, 1890 - May 14, 1998) was an American eminent conservationist and writer.

Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, she was descendent of one of the founders of the Underground Railroad. After the divorce of her parents, she was raised in Taunton, Massachusetts and educated at Wellesley College. She married a newspaper editor, Kenneth Douglas, in 1914. The marriage failed, and she moved to Miami in the Fall of 1915. Her father Frank Stoneman (died Feb 1, 1941) was the first publisher of the paper that later became The Miami Herald. She joined the staff of that paper, and then served in the Red Cross in Europe during World War I.

She was most associated with battles to save the Florida Everglades from draining and overdevelopment, during which times she organized benefits and various marches. Her book The Everglades: River of Grass, written in 1947, has gone through numerous editions. It galvanized people to protect the Everglades. At the age of 78, she founded Friends of the Everglades, an organization which is still at the forefront of Florida conservation.
