Mary Wilde, Baroness Penzance (22 December 1825 – 24 October 1900), born Lady Mary Pleydell-Bouverie, was an English gardener. She was the daughter of William Pleydell-Bouverie, 3rd Earl of Radnor and Judith Anne St. John-Mildmay. She married Sir James Wilde in 1860, becoming Baroness Penzance on her husband's elevation to the peerage in 1869. The couple resided at Eashing Park, Godalming.
