Mary Jaqueline Tyrwhitt (25 May 1905 – 21 February 1983) was a British town planner, journalist, editor and educator. She was at the centre of the transnational network of theoreticians and practitioners who shaped the post-war Modern Movement in decentralized community design, residential architecture and social reform. She contributed in developing methods for the application of the ideas of Patrick Geddes, as well as publicizing them. Tyrwhitt had not met Geddes, bur she was able to extract from his writings some key ideas and concepts. She brought Geddesian thinking into conferences, discussions, curricula, publications, and policy documents.
