Mary Pratt DeBardeleben Percy (born April 15, 1872 - died 1952) was the daughter of Henry F. DeBardeleben and Ellen Pratt DeBardeleben and the wife of attorney Walker Percy.
Mary was one of seven children born to Henry DeBardeleben by his first wife, Ellen. She married Percy in 1888 and produced two children, LeRoy and Ellen. Her husband shot himself shortly after the birth of their grandson, novelist Walker Percy. There were rumors of infidelity on her part and a history of depression on his side of the family.
