Mary MacCarthy (1882-1953) was an English writer, known for her involvement in the "Bloomsbury Group".

MacCarthy was born Mary Warre-Cornish in 1882. Commonly called Molly, she married Desmond MacCarthy, another member of the Bloomsbury group, in 1906. Though prevented by progressive hearing loss from full participation in group conversation, she was nevertheless active in the group, as demonstrated by her formation of the Memoir group and the Novel group, and by coining the term "Bloomsberries" to describe the members of the group.
