Mary Isabel Fraser (20 March 1863 – 18 April 1942) was a New Zealand teacher, school principal and educationalist.

Throughout her career as a teacher and then as a school principal, she was a strong advocate for girls' education.

[1][2] She is also known for having introduced, after returning from a trip to Yichang in China, the first kiwifruit seeds in New Zealand, in 1904.

[1][2] This allowed nurseryman Alexander Allison to grow plants from these seeds,[2] and it was from this experience that the worldwide kiwifruit industry developed.
