Mary Nash (born 1925) is a 20th-century American writer.

Nash grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, attended Radcliffe College and earned a master's degree in creative writing from the University of Washington. She married a physician, Edmund Kudarauskas, and they reared 3 children in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The children were named Norman, Holly and Tom; Tom, who was called "Toad" as a child, inspired the character in the Coverlet books. Nash began writing children's books after reading a number of disappointing ones to her own children.[1]

Nash taught creative writing at the Radcliffe Institute.[1]

Nash was "celebrated" for her children's trilogy While Mrs Coverlet Was Away (1958), Mrs. Coverlet's Magicians (1960), and Mrs Coverlet's Detectives.[2]

Nash's book The Provoked Wife: the life and times of Susannah Cibber (1977) was an account of the life of the 18th century actress Susannah Maria Cibber.[2]
