Marguerite Henry (née Breithaupt; April 13, 1902 – November 26, 1997) was an American writer of children's books, writing fifty-nine books based on true stories of horses and other animals.

She won the Newbery Medal for King of the Wind, a 1948 book about horses, and she was a runner-up for two others.

One of the latter, Misty of Chincoteague (1947), was the basis for several sequels and for the 1961 movie Misty.
