Marie-Anne Rousselet (born December 6, 1732 in Paris ; † 1826 there ), also known by the nickname Veuve Tardieu (French: widow Tardieu), was a French engraver .

She was the daughter of the medalist Alexis Étienne Rousselet and, like her sister Madeleine, first took up her father's profession. Then she first dealt with the implementation of history and genre painting in copper engraving . In 1757 she married Pierre François Tardieu .

She was best known after the death of her husband. So she engraved many sheets for Georges-Louis Leclerc de Buffons and Bernard Germain Lacépèdes natural lexica, multi-volume works, in the imprint of which she is mentioned, among others, as an engraver or author, here mostly as MRV Tardieu.
