Marie Baude (c. 1703- fl. 1728) was a Senegambian signare businesswoman and slave trader. She was married to the convicted French murderer, Jean Pinet. Despite a lack of significant evidence regarding her life, Baude's narrative embodies the intricate dynamics of the transatlantic slave trade era, from her ascent as a ''signare'', wielding influence amid the trade, to the events surrounding her husband's trial and deportation.
