Cornelia MacIntyre Foley (1909 – 2010) was an artist who was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on January 31, 1909. She began her art training under the first art instructor the University of Hawaii, Huc-Mazelet Luquiens (1881–1961). Foley continued her art education at the University of Washington, and spent two years in London at the Slade School of Art as a pupil of Henry Tonks (1862-1937). From London, she returned to Hawaii to marry Lieutenant Paul Foley, who rose through the ranks of the United States Navy to become a Rear Admiral. During 1937-1941, the couple lived in Long Beach, CA and in Seattle, Washington in 1941-1942. Mrs. Foley died January 18, 2010 in Severna Park, Maryland.

Cornelia MacIntyre Foley is best known for her voluptuous paintings of Hawaiian women. Major works by Foley are held by the Honolulu Academy of Arts and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri.
