Mary C. "Molly" Bingham is an American journalist and filmmaker.

Molly Bingham grew up in Louisville, Kentucky and went to Brooks school in North Andover, Massachusetts, before getting her BA in 1990 at Harvard College in Medieval European History. In 1993 she traveled to Russia and Tibet and produced a portfolio from those trips that she showed to magazine and newspaper photo editors.

In 1994 she traveled to Rwanda to cover ongoing events after the genocide. From that time until 1998, Bingham focused her work on central Africa, including Rwanda, Burundi and the Congo (then called Zaire). In addition to working as a journalist, Bingham has worked on three projects with Human Rights Watch over the years, one in Burundi, one on small arms trafficking in the Great Lakes region of central Africa and later a short emergency project in Sierra Leone.

In August 1998 Bingham began work as Official Photographer to the Vice President at the White House, a job documenting the life of the Vice President that she continued until January 2001.

Bingham returned to Africa in the spring of 2001, working on a story for the New York Times Sunday Magazine on the mining of the mineral coltan that is used to coat computer chips. On September 11th, 2001, Bingham was in western Virginia on a training course for journalists, but returned to Washington, D.C. to photograph the Pentagon and the feeling in the capital in the wake of the attacks for the New Yorker. Post 9/11 Bingham has spent time in Afghanistan, the Gaza Strip, Iran and fourteen months in Iraq.
