Marianne Muggeridge (born 1952) is a New Zealand painter and screenprinter based in Taranaki.

[1] From the early 1970s Muggeridge lived outside New Zealand,[3] including in Paris, Wales and London.

[1] In 2000, Muggeridge returned to New Zealand, settling in Wellington where she learned screenprinting from Michael Smither.

[6] Muggeridge's success in the Adam Portraiture Award led to commissions to paint portraits of notable New Zealanders, including Don Brash for Reserve Bank of New Zealand,[7] Professor Alan MacDiarmid and Sir Paul Callaghan for the Royal Society of New Zealand[8] and Professors James McWha and Judith Kinnear for Massey University.
