Marianne Stokes (née Preindlsberger; 1855–1927) was an Austrian painter.
She was born in Graz, Styria and first studied in Munich. Then, having been awarded a scholarship for her first picture, she moved to France. In 1883 she visited Pont-Aven (Brittany, France), where she met the landscape painter Adrian Scott Stokes (1854–1935), whom she married a year later.
The two lived in St Ives (Cornwall) and regularly travelled abroad, frequently to the Tyrol, and in 1905 to Hungary and the High Tatra. Here they spent about half a year sketching and painting in the villages of Važec, Mengusovce and Ždiar. Adrian Stokes concentrated on landscapes, with images of hay-harvesting and picturesque cottages, while Marianne Stokes painted portraits showing the fine detail of the garments. These paintings provide a valuable record of the Slovak culture.
Marianne Stokes was an Associate of the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours.
