Eleanor Spencer Stone Perényi (1918-2009) was a gardener and author on gardening.

She wrote Green Thoughts, a collection of essays based on her own experiences as a gardener. The book drew on her work on her husband’s castle (described in her 1946 publication More Was Lost). Green Thoughts was reviewed by Brooke Astor in The New York Times.

Perenyi was given an award in literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1982.
