Marie-Madeleine Hachard née Hennebont (17 February 1704, Rouen - 9 August 1760, New Orleans) was a French letter writer and abbess of the Ursuline order. She was one of the first members of the first Ursuline Convent in New Orleans in French Louisiana in 1727. Her letters home to her father in France have been preserved, published, and are valued as a source of historical documentation.
