Marie-Louise Theile was a former Australian news anchor. She was most famous for presenting Ten News in Brisbane.

Born in Brisbane Marie-Louise graduated at the University of Queensland. Marie worked as a reporter for The Sun, before she moved to New York where she worked at Elle magazine. She then spent time in the New York Bureau of Brisbane's Sunday Sun and the Adelaide News. When Marie-Louise returned to Queensland Marie-Louise worked as a journalist writing for Ita, Cleo and Vogue Living magazines, as well as The Australian before joining ABC-TV as a news reporter.

In May 1991 Marie-Louise co-anchored the 6:00pm Ten Eyewitness News with Glenn Taylor in Brisbane. In Early 1994 Marie-Louise took up the position as newsreader for Ten News in Melbourne with David Johnston. In 1997 she returned home to Ten News Brisbane. She has also substituted on the national late news.

On June 22 in 2000, Marie-Louise made an embarrassing oversight by conducting a conversation with her co-host without realising that she was live on air. In this 10 second conversation she called her husband an "arsehole". The content of the conversation is as follows: "This arsehole that I'm married to he goes 'aw I wanna go skiing' ok 'I wanna go-' ok and then he slightly.." at which point somebody in the studio can be heard snapping their fingers in order to capture her attention. She apologised for this conversation during the news broadcast the following evening.

Marie-Louise is a wife and a mother of three.

In October 2007, she announced that she will be resigning from Ten News in December, to spend more time with her family. Georgina Lewis (current weather presenter and regular fill in presenter) will replace Theile from January 2008. Marie-Louise's last broadcast was on Friday the 7th of December 2007.
