Marie-Madeleine Hachard née Hennebont (1704-1760) was a French letter writer and abbess of the Ursuline order. She was the founder and the first abbess of the first Ursuline Convent in New Orleans in French Louisiana in 1727. Her letters home to her family in France have been preserved, published, and are valued as a source of historical documentation.
