Mary Leadbeater (December 1758 – 27 June 1826) was an Irish Quaker author and diarist who lived most of her life in the planned Quaker settlement of Ballitore, County Kildare.

The 200th anniversary of Mary Leadbeater’s death will occur on Saturday the 27th of June 2026. To mark this occasion, the Ballitore Burial Ground Restoration Group will be erecting an information sign indicating the location of Mary Leadbeater’s grave, and is offering local schools and youth organisations an opportunity to join or organise a guided tour of the Burial Ground around the time of the anniversary.
