Marie Arago, born Marie-Anne Roig (3 November 1755 – 5 September 1845) was a French woman, wife of François Bonaventure Arago and mother of François, Jean, Jacques, Victor, Joseph and Étienne Arago. She raised her eight children alone after the death of her husband in 1814, passed on her human values and encouraged them to pursue their studies.
An "Arago clan" was formed around her eldest son, François, at the Paris Observatory, including Claude-Louis Mathieu (who married his sister Marguerite), Alexander von Humboldt and Félix Savary.
