Mary Irene Curzon, 2nd Baroness Ravensdale, Baroness Ravensdale of Kedleston, (20 January 1896 – 9 February 1966), was an English noblewoman, socialite and philanthropist.

The eldest child of George Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston and Mary Leiter, she inherited her father's lesser title, the Barony of Ravensdale, on 20 March 1925, and was created a life peer as Baroness Ravensdale of Kedleston, of Kedleston, in the County of Derby, on 6 October 1958. This allowed her to sit in the House of Lords prior to the passing of the Peerage Act 1963, which allowed suo jure hereditary peeresses to enter. She and her two younger sisters were memorialised by Anne de Courcy in The Viceroy's Daughters: the Lives of the Curzon Sisters.
