메리 엘리자베스 젱킨스 서랫(Mary Elizabeth Jenkins Surratt, 영어 발음: /səˈræt/ 혹은 서랏 영어 발음: /səˈrɑːt/, 1820년 또는 1823년 5월 ~ 1865년 7월 7일)은 링컨 대통령 암살 사건에 가담한 하숙집 주인이다. 사형 선고를 받고, 교수형에 처해져 미국 연방 정부에 의해 처형된 최초의 여성이다. 그녀는 이후 재판을 받았지만, 암살에 기소되지 않은 존 서랫의 어머니이다.

Mary Elizabeth Surratt was an American boarding house owner in Washington, D.C., who was convicted of taking part in the conspiracy which led to the assassination of U.S. president Abraham Lincoln in 1865. Sentenced to death, she was hanged and became the first woman executed by the U.S. federal government. She maintained her innocence until her death, and the case against her was and remains controversial. Surratt was the mother of John Surratt, who was later tried in the conspiracy, but was not convicted.
