Marie Hartig Kendall (1854–1943) was an American photographer. Her portrait photography and landscapes documented the Norfolk, Connecticut, area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in the Alsace region of France, she immigrated to the United States with her family and trained as a nurse at Bellevue Hospital in New York. A self-taught photographer, during her lifetime Kendall made over 30,000 photographic negatives after first acquiring a view camera in the 1880s. She won an award for photography at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. She sold her photographs as postcards and to the New Haven Railroad for their publicity campaigns. Among her photographs were some depicting the Great Blizzard of 1888.
