Mary Read (unknown – 1721) was an English pirate and member of the Assassin Order, trained by the Mentor Ah Tabai.
She posed as a male pirate under the name of James Kidd, an illegitimate son of the late William Kidd, and was one of the founding members of the pirate republic at Nassau.
She died in a Port Royal prison of a fever related to childbirth. Her daughter was taken away from her after birth. Mary's death was the reason Edward changed his ways and became an assassin.
