Mary Knatchbull (1610 – 6 March 1696) was abbess of the Convent of the Immaculate Conception in Ghent in what is now Belgium. Knatchbull tried to handle the convent's large debts which she inherited, but her plans were thwarted when Charles II of England borrowed money, promising its return, but failing to pay back the full amount to the convent after The Restoration.
