Marthe Emmanuel (20 August 1901 – 15 May 1997) was a French geographer, historian, and biographer. Emmanuel's work focused on the history of geography, particularly on polar scientific explorers from France. She initially devoted her writings to biographies about Jean-Baptiste Charcot, describing both his contributions to science and the explorer's personality. She then published research about other explorers, including Robert Falcon Scott. Her works have been awarded several prizes.
