Thérèse Couderc (1 February 1805 – 26 September 1885) - born Marie-Victoire Couderc - was a French religious sister and the co-founder of the Sisters of the Cenacle. Couderc underwent humiliations during her time as a sister for she was forced to resign from positions and was ridiculed and mocked due to false accusations made against her though this softened towards the end of her life. She was a spiritual writer having written on sacrifice and service to God. After her death, she left a series of spiritual writings. Pope Paul VI canonised her in 1970.
