Pauline Maria Tutein (; 24 December 1725 – 28 December 1799) was a Danish philanthropist whose portrait was featured on the Danish 20 kroner banknote in the currency's 1972 series. The 1972 series was themed after paintings by Jens Juel, who had painted Tutein's portrait in 1779.

In 1796, she made a 4000 Danish rigsdaler donation for the establishment of a girls' school under Sankt Petri Schule in Copenhagen.[1]

Pauline Maria was born in Stolzenau on 24 December 1725. She is presumed to be the daughter of Dorothea Stäckelmann and Bernhardt Rath, a county bailiff. She was married to Ernst Bruckner until his death in 1755. On 12 May 1756, Pauline Maria married Peter Pierre Tutein, a member of the Grosserer-Societetet.[2] She and Peter Pierre had a daughter, Dorothea (Dorthe) Tutein (1764–1814), who married Hartvig Marcus Frisch.[3] Pauline Maria died in Copenhagen on 28 December 1799. She and her spouse were buried together at Assistens Cemetery.[4]
