Mary Trye (born 1642) was a woman who practiced medicine in Warwickshire, England and the city of London, in an era when women were not permitted to become licensed physicians.

In 1675, she published Medicatrix, Or The Woman-Physician,a defense of her father, Thomas O'Dowde, who died caring for patients during the Great Plague of London, and whose practice she continued. in Medicatrix she asserted her right to write and publish. She defended the practice of iatrochemistry as opposed to the Galenic approach supported by the official Royal College of Physicians. Her medical philosophy was influenced by Jan Baptist Van Helmont.
