Marianne Van Vyve (5 November 1943 - 25 November 1991) was a Belgian painter who trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in her hometown of Antwerp. She was one of the few women to be represented by Galerie De Zwarte Panter, where she had her first solo show in 1979.

Van Vyve is 19 when she enrols at the Academy of Fine Arts, where she is taught by professors Carlo de Roover, René de Coninck, Joseph Vinck and Jan Vaerten. She marries at 25 and becomes a mother two years later. The young family settles in a large town house in the centre of Antwerp which becomes a hub for the city’s artistic bohemia of the time. Parties are thrown in grand style, musician friends improvise concerts, Van Vyve shares her large studio with Dutch painter and long-time friend Ysbrant who introduces her to Adriaan Raemdonck, owner of Galerie De Zwarte Panter.

In the 1980s, Van Vyve divorces but continues to paint while raising her daughter on her own. Travels to Africa further influence her work, as do political events (the Tienanmen massacre, the war in ex-Yugoslavia) and early reports of environmental degradation. Alternating gallery shows with personal projects, she exhibits her work in unconventional spaces such as an outdoor parking lot or a disused hydraulic pumping plant on the docks of Antwerp old port. Her career comes to an abrupt end when she passes away unexpectedly in Lucca, Italy, aged 48.
