Pauline von Mallinckrodt, SCC (3 June 1817 - 30 April 1881) was a German noblewoman, Roman Catholic professed religious and the foundress of the Sisters of Christian Charity. Born into an aristocratic Mallinckrodt family as the daughter of a Lutheran father and Catholic mother, from her adolescence she began to tend to the blind and sick. This venture expanded into what became a religious congregation which spread at a rapid pace; she herself traveled to a range of places to oversee its growth and development.[1]

She later was beatified on 14 April 1985.
