Mary Whalen Maxwell (born c. 1946 in Massachusetts) is an independent journalist, author, video blogger and a Republican candidate in the special election for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions appointment to serve as U.S. Attorney General.

Maxwell is the daughter of U.S. Army Air Force Lieutenant John Whalen and the former Pat Cahill, who married while he was stationed at Maxwell Field in 1943. She grew up in Massachusetts and earned a bachelor's degree at Emmanuel College and a master's from John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. She married Scottish pediatrician George Maxwell and moved with him to Adelaide, Australia in 1980. He died in 2000.

Maxwell completed a PhD in politics and a bachelor of laws at the University of Adelaide as she nurtured an abiding interest in U.S. politics and conspiracies. She has written several books and served as president of the Australian Institute for International Affairs in South Adelaide.

She ran unsuccessfully to represent New Hampshire in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2005. The following year she filed a federal lawsuit challenging President George W. Bush's military intervention in Iran and Syria. The suit was dismissed.

After learning about the special senate election in Alabama she moved to Tuscaloosa and qualified to file for the race. In her campaign she has expressed a commitment to extricate the United States from military conflicts, to defend state sovereignty, and to restore government to its constitutional origins. She aligns herself on the latter issue with Senator Rand Paul.
