Margaret O. Parangosky was an officer of the UNSC Defense Force and the UNSC Office of Naval Intelligence.

By 2531, Parangosky would hold the rank of Vice Admiral and be the Chief of Section Three, UNSC Office of Naval Intelligence. She personally authorized the SPARTAN-III Program and directed James Ackerson to plan and execute the special access program. By the War's end in 2553, Parangosky would attain the rank of Admiral and would become the Director of the UNSC Office of Naval Intelligence, and was involved in the establishment of the Department of Strategic Intelligence and ordering Strategic Intelligence's investigation into Steadfast Faith. However, by 2561, Parangosky was dead, the victim of a heart attack, although Beah Schore suspected that her death was not coincidental.

Parangosky was infamous for her eldery age and stature, and earned distrust from many of her external UNSC colleagues because of her frail form and advanced years, although her subordinates and superiors in ONI well understood that her age and years of operational experience and knowledge gave her unparalleled experience that made her an exceptional officer. Parangosky was known to discreetly invest ONI funds into biotechnology companies, and few knew that she was indeed taking biotech accoutrements in order to sustain herself despite her age.
