Mary Elizabeth Sharpe (née Evans; October 23, 1884 – April 4, 1985) was an American philanthropist, businesswoman, and self-taught landscape architect who is known for her work on Brown University's campus in Providence, Rhode Island.

She became a prominent member of the Garden Club of America, created an annual tree fund, and worked on many landscaping projects.

At a young age, Sharpe lost her father, and as a way to help her mother and three sisters, she began making candies to sell.

Sharpe would continue to work on landscape projects like India Point Park and Brown University across Providence until she died on April 4, 1985.
