María Nicolasa de Valdés y de la Carrera, Countess of La Conquista (January 7, 1733 – December 18, 1810) was the inaugural First Lady of Chile[citation needed] from September 18, 1810, when her husband assumed the presidency in Chile's First Government Junta, until her death four months later.

She married Mateo de Toro Zambrano, 1st Count of la Conquista on May 3, 1751, and together they had ten children. She died in Santiago, shortly before her husband, at the age of 77.
