Mabell Ogilvy, Countess of Airlie GCVO GBE DGStJ (10 March 1866–7 April 1956) was a British peeress.
The Countess of Airlie was born Lady Mabell Frances Elizabeth Gore, the eldest daughter of the 5th Earl of Arran. She married the 11th Earl of Airlie on 19 January 1886, and they later had six children.
As a Lady of the Bedchamber and close confidante to Queen Mary from 1901 until the latter's death, she was a close observer of the fluctuating relationships within the British Royal Family, and detailed her reminisences about them in her respectfully discreet memoir Thatched with Gold: The Memoirs of Mabell, Countess of Airlie.
