Marguerite Martyn (September 26, 1878 – April 17, 1948) was an American journalist and political cartoonist with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in the early 20th century. She was noted as much for her published sketches as for her articles.

She also wrote about women's fashion and the women's suffrage movement, "in which she was enthusiastically interested."
