Mary Paik Lee (August 17, 1900 – 1995) was a Korean American writer. She is most known for her autobiography, Quiet Odyssey: A Pioneer Korean Woman in America. She was born Paek Kuang-Sun in Pyongyang in the Korean Empire (now the capital of North Korea). Her parents decided to leave Korea when the Japanese and their growing presence in Korea took control over their home. In 1905, they arrived in Hawaii where they started anew.
Her father, Paik Sin Koo, came from a line of ministers and teachers but when they arrived in Hawaii, he became a contract laborer on a sugar plantation. They faced extreme discrimination and eventually moved to Riverside, California in 1906.
