Mary of Teck (Victoria Mary Augusta Louise Olga Pauline Claudine Agnes; 26 May 1867 – 24 March 1953) was Queen of the United Kingdom as the wife of King George V. She was the mother of King Edward VIII (later Duke of Windsor) and King George VI, and grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II. She was the great-grandmother of the current king of the United Kingdom, Charles III.

By birth, Mary was a member of the House of Teck in Berlin, Germany, and through her mother, she was a distant member of the British Royal Family. Within her family, she was given the nickname "May" after the month of her birth.
