Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, marquise de Sevigne (5 February 1626 – 17 April 1696), also widely known as Madame de Sevigne or Mme de Sevigne, was a French aristocrat, remembered for her letter-writing.
Most of her letters, celebrated for their wit and vividness, were addressed to her daughter, Francoise-Marguerite de Sevigne.
She is revered in France as one of the great icons of French 17th-century literature.
