Marie of Württemberg (full name: Antoinette Friederike Auguste Marie Anna Herzogin von Württemberg) (17 September 1799 – 24 September 1860) was a daughter of Duke Alexander of Württemberg and Antoinette of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld.
In Coburg on 23 December 1832, Marie became the second wife of Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who was also her uncle (as her mother Antoinette was Ernest's sibling). They had no children.
She was therefore the stepmother of Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. She was a godmother of Albert and Victoria's eldest son Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII of the United Kingdom), although she was not physically present at his baptism.
