Marie Simon (Upper Sorbian: Marja Simonowa; née Jannasch (Janašec); 26 August 1824 – 20 February 1877) was a Sorbian nurse who co-founded the Albert Association [de], a precursor to the German Red Cross, following her experience as battlefield nurse during the Austro-Prussian War. She later became one of the principal German nurses of the Franco-Prussian War, organizing the nursing staff and food distribution at the military hospital in Nancy. Simon later established several medical facilities in Dresden and devoted the rest of her life to the training of new nurses. She was highly regarded in Germany, with a contemporary physician referring to her as the "Saxon Florence Nightingale".
