O Mary of Graces is a traditionally Catholic Marian hymn based on an ancient Irish prayer to Mary, the mother of Jesus. Two versions of the hymn exist based on differing translations made of the original prayer by Priest Douglas Hyde and J. Rafferty, with the Hyde version being more popular.

In modern history, the hymn has been present in a number of hymnals, weddings, and music performances by Catholic schools. Covers of the hymn have also been made by religious sister congregations including the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Our Savior and the Sisters of the Holy Humility of Mary.
