Mary-Ann Kirkby (born 1959) is a Canadian author who has written two memoirs about her upbringing in the Hutterite tradition.

Kirkby was born on a Hutterite colony in Manitoba to Ronald and Mary Dornn.[1] Her family left the colony in 1969 when Kirkby was ten years old due to a conflict between Kirkby's father and the colony's head minister.[2] Kirkby studied broadcast journalism in college, eventually becoming a television reporter and singer.[3]

Kirkby has written two books about her Hutterite upbringing.
I Am Hutterite was originally self-published in 2007, earning enough commercial and critical success to lead to a 2010 re-release by publishers Key Porter Books in Canada and Thomas Nelson in the Unit
