Margaret Mary Healy-Murphy (May 4, 1833 - August 25, 1907) was an Irish immigrant to the United States. She and her family crossed the Atlantic Ocean and eventually moved westward from West Virginia to Mexico and Texas before the Civil War. She lived in Corpus Christi until her mid-fifties. After the death of her husband, she embarked on her life's vocation. Murphy went to San Antonio and founded the first congregation of Roman Catholic religious sisters in Texas. She is also known for founding the first free and private school for African Americans in San Antonio. Throughout her life, she helped the poor and reached out to help African Americans and Mexican Americans.
