Mary Jane (Whitely) Coggeshall (January 17, 1836–December 22, 1911) was an American suffragist known as the "mother of woman suffrage in Iowa".

[1] In the latter capacity, she marched in America's third-ever women's suffrage parade, which took place in Boone, Iowa, in 1908.

[1][5] Coggeshall was the first editor (1886–88) of the IWSA's monthly Woman's Standard, Iowa's main suffrage newspaper, founded by Martha Callanan.

Although she did not live to see American women get the vote, fellow suffragist Carrie Chapman Catt dubbed her "the mother of woman suffrage in Iowa".

An archive of Coggeshall's papers—mainly speeches and writings—is held by the Schlesinger Library of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University.
