Marie Šechtlová (March 25, 1928 Chomutov – July 5, 2008 Prague) was a Czech photographer, one of the proponents of the "poetry of everyday" style.

Marie began her photographic career in 1945. After her marriage to Josef Šechtl, she helped develop the family Šechtl & Voseček photographic studio until 1953, when it was nationalized by the communist government. In the late 1950s, she became an art photographer, and in the 1960s, she was one of most successful photographers of “the poetry of the everyday”. Together with her husband, she published a number of books, and produced many exhibitions, and also pioneered the use of large scale photographic prints for interior decoration.
