Mary Amelia Ingalls (January 10, 1865–October 20, 1928) was born near the town of Pepin, Wisconsin, to Caroline and Charles Ingalls. She is the elder sister of famous author Laura Ingalls Wilder best known for her Little House on the Prairie book series.

At the age of 14, Mary suffered an illness (depicted as scarlet fever in the Little House books, but as a stroke in her sister's unpublished memoirs) which resulted in lifelong blindness. Between 1881-1889, she attended the Iowa College for the Blind at Vinton, Iowa. Then she returned home to De Smet, South Dakota and lived with her parents until their deaths. Later, she lived with her sister Grace and then Carrie. She was never married. She died on October 20, 1928 at the age of 63, as a result of pneumonia and complications from a stroke.

On Little House screenings she was portrayed by Melissa Sue Anderson (1974-1981), Barbara Jane Reams (1997) and Danielle Chuchran (2005).
