Marie Marguerite Françoise Hébert, née Goupil (1756, Paris – 13 April 1794, Paris), was a figure in the French Revolution. She was a nun in the couvent de la Conception (rue Saint-Honoré) in Paris under the name "sister of Providence", but was defrocked and on 7 February 1792 married Jacques René Hébert.
The couple had Scipion-Virginie Hébert (7 February 1793 – 13 July 1830), who was orphaned when her father Jacques was guillotined on 24 March 1794, and twenty days later when her mother Marie was guillotined on 13 April 1794. Her daughter was raised by a printer, Jacques Christophe Marquet. She became undermistress of a boarding school, was married to a Reformed pastor, and died at 37 years of age.
She was the daughter of Jacques Goupil and of Louise Morel (died 1781).
