Marie Robinson Wright (May 4, 1853 – February 1, 1914) was an American travel writer.
She was elected member of learned societies in various parts of the world; and served as a special delegate or representative to international expositions.
It was, however, as an observer and especially as a writer, that Wright gained her fame.
Her books were written about Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, and Mexico.
These volumes were generous octavos, well illustrated, and filled with facts gathered chiefly from authoritative sources or confirmed by her own observations.
They ran through more than one edition, and were esteemed in the countries they described.
She was a contemporary of Nellie Bly.
