Mary Alison Frantz (September 27, 1903 – February 1, 1995) was an American archaeological photographer and Byzantine scholar. She was the official photographer of the excavations of the Agora of Athens, and a prolific photographer of ancient Greek sculpture, including the Parthenon frieze and works from the Temple of Zeus at Olympia.

Frantz was born in Minnesota. Following her father's early death, she lived briefly in Scotland, where she first took an interest in photography. She studied classics at Smith College in Massachusetts, graduating in 1924.
