Marie-Louise Hairs (1912 – 1998) was a Belgian art historian specializing in Flemish still-life flower paintings of the 17th century.
Her overview of the Flemish flower painters of the 17th century was reprinted and excerpted several times during her lifetime. She is credited with the first academic study of Flemish flower garland painters. She wrote a chapter on flower painting in the 1989 overview of Flemish golden age painting by Edith Greindl.
