Mary Fleener (born September 14, 1951) is an American alternative comics artist, writer and musician from Los Angeles.

Her first publication was a work about Zora Neale Hurston, called Hoodoo (1988), followed by the semi-autobiographical comics series Slutburger, and the anthology Life of the Party (1996).

Among Fleener's influences are ancient Egyptian art and the works of Chester Gould (Dick Tracy), Otto Soglow (The Little King) and Al Capp (Li'l Abner).

[7] In 1984, she read an article "new comix," by Matt Groening in the LA WEEKLY that inspired her to create her first comic works.

[9] These comix depicted the artist and a colorful cast of characters playing in rock bands, surfing, going to college, and gleefully partaking of drugs and casual sex, among other things.
