Mary Raftery is an Irish filmmaker and writer.

Her film States of fear was broadcast on the Irish television channel Radio Telefís Éireann (RTÉ) in 1999.

A book she wrote later that year called Suffer the Little Children added more detail to her claim that the Irish childcare system between the 1930s and 1970s was guilty of widespread persecution and abuse.

In 2000 the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse was established by the Irish Government to examine the evidence: its Report was published in May 2009.
