Maren Fransisca Paus (born 24th December 1793 in Skien, died 10th June 1854 in Christiania) was married to philanthropist, factory owner, and Storting representative Frederik Michael Frantz Wilhelm Løvenskiold (1790–1869). They had five children.

She was the daughter of ship's captain Søren Paus (1745-1797) and Kristine Bøyeson (1758-1828), daughter of Realf Bøyesen and Mette Grubbe. After her father died at sea in 1797, she and her sister were taken in by her aunt, Christiane Elisabeth Bøyesen, and her second husband, Jacob Aall (uncle to the mayor of the same name), and grew up in Borgestad gård in Skien.

Her sister, Anne Zacharine Paus was married to Niels Aall Løvenskiold. Her brother, Christian Paus became Storting represenative in 1830.

Maren Fransisca Paus kept a diary during the Napoleonic Wars. In 1813 Prince Christian Frederik of Denmark-Norway (later King) visited Brekke gård in Skien along with Jacob Aall's nephew, Nils Aall. She wrote about the Prince's visit in her diary.
