Margaret Maclay Bogardus (1804 โ€“ 1878) was an American miniature painter.

Scottish by birth, the daughter of the Reverend Archibald Maclay, Margaret Maclay emigrated to the United States in 1805,[2] marrying James Bogardus in 1831.[3]

For awhile after their marriage, Bogardus' paintings supported her husband, an inventor who would become known for his cast-iron buildings. In 1942, she became one of the first female members of the National Academy of Design, where she would exhibit until 1846.[2]

Her work is included in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum,[1] the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York[4] and the National Portrait Gallery, Washington.[5]

She was interred with her husband at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.[6]
