"Mary" is a song by American rock band, Scissor Sisters, and is the fourth track on their eponymous debut album (see 2004 in music). It was released as a single in October 2004 in the UK, peaking at #14 in the UK Singles Chart.

The "Mary" of the title was Mary Hanlon, a friend of Jake Shears, who died in 2006.

The video for the single was released in October 2004 and was considered a by fans. It was seen as a spoof of Rapunzel and other children's fairy tales; an owl makes an appearance in the video. The music video was produced by Don Bluth. Scissor Sisters contacted him after recalling fond memories of an animated sequence in Xanadu. The video also includes a live action portion, showing a woman getting out of bed, boarding a London Underground train, departing at Canary Wharf tube station and entering and working in a Docklands office. This sequence segues into the animation with her staring into a photocopier, presumably indicating the animated sequence is her daydream.
