Marie-Laure Augry (born 27 February 1947 in Tours) is a French journalist. She is a member of the Club des médiateurs de la presse ((in French) "Press mediators' club").

After studying journalism at the IUT of Tours, Augry joined ORTF as a political journalist in October 1972, before becoming a reporter in 1974, covering educational and youth issues. She continued as a reporter for TF1 and became a newsreader in July 1975.

From 1981 to 1988, she co-presented TF1's 1pm daily news magazine show, alongside Yves Mourousi. Between 1988 and 1991, she hosted a weekly magazine show bearing her name, Allo Marie-Laure, on TF1. In 1991, she joined La Cinq ((in French) "Channel Five") to present the lunchtime news on weekdays and Histoires vraies ((in French) "True Stories") with Paul Lefevre. A year later, following the collapse of La Cinq, Yves Mourousi, then Program Director of RMC, gave her a daily show called Passion, which she continued for two years.

In 1993, France 3 offered her the chance to host a daily show, "Generation 3" co-produced with the CNDP (National Centre for Educational Documentation).
