Mary Caroline Pierce (born 15 January 1975) is a French former professional tennis player. Born in Canada to an American father and a French mother, Pierce holds citizenship of all three countries but represented France internationally in team competitions and the Olympics.

Pierce won four Grand Slam titles: two in singles, one in doubles and one in mixed doubles. She reached six Grand Slam singles finals, most recently at the US Open and French Open in 2005.
