Margaret Elizabeth Austin, CNZM (born 1933) is a former New Zealand politician. She was an MP from 1984 to 1996, representing first the Labour Party and then United New Zealand.

She was first elected to Parliament in the 1984 elections as the MP for Yaldhurst, an electorate in western Christchurch. She held that seat for the Labour Party until 1995, when she joined with six other MPs to found the centrist United New Zealand Party.

Like all United New Zealand MPs (but Peter Dunne), however, Austin was not re-elected in the 1996 elections.

She later became Chancellor of Lincoln University.
