Marie Juchacz (German pronunciation: [maˈʁiː ˈjʊxatʃ]; née Marie Gohlke; born Landsberg an der Warthe, 15 March 1879; died Düsseldorf, 28 January 1956)[1] was a German social reformer.

She joined the Social Democratic Party (SPD) in 1908, more than ten years before women acquired the right to vote, and pursued a career that included politics, becoming, in 1919, the first female Reichstag member to address a German parliament.[2]
