Mary Scott Lord Dimmick Harrison (April 30, 1858-January 5, 1948) was the second wife of the 23rd United States president Benjamin Harrison. She was 25 years younger than him, and was the niece of his first wife.

Mary Scott Lord was the daughter of Russell Farnham Lord, chief engineer of the Delaware and Hudson Canal, and his wife Elizabeth Mayhew Scott.

In 1881 she married Walter Erskine Dimmick, a son of the attorney-general of Pennsylvania. He died six weeks after their wedding.

During the presidency of Benjamin Harrison, she was a frequent guest at the White House, and lived there for a time with Harrison and his first wife (her aunt), Caroline Lavinia Scott, who died in 1892.

Mrs. Dimmick married the former president on April 6, 1896 at St. Thomas Protestant Episcopal Church in New York City. They travelled widely: to Venezuela, where Harrison played a role in settling a boundary dispute, and to the Hague Peace Conference. They had one daughter, Elizabeth Harrison, born February 21, 1897. Benjamin Harrison died in 1901 after 5 years of marriage.
