"Maria" is een single van de Amerikaanse rockband Blondie van het album No Exit uit 1999, destijds het eerste materiaal door Blondie uitgebracht sinds 1982.

"Maria" is a song by the American rock band Blondie. It was written by the band's keyboardist Jimmy Destri and was produced by Craig Leon. Taken from their seventh album, No Exit (1999), it was Blondie's first new release since 1982. "Maria" was released to US radio stations on January 5, 1999, then was issued as a retail single in Europe six days later. The song reached number one in the United Kingdom, giving Blondie their sixth UK chart-topper. The song also topped the charts of Greece and Spain, becoming a top-20 hit across Europe and in New Zealand. Its accompanying music video was directed by Roman Coppola.

The song was included on the band's 2014 compilation album, Greatest Hits Deluxe Redux. The compilation was part of a two-disc set titled Blondie 4(0) Ever, which includes Ghosts of Download, their tenth studio album, and marked the 40th anniversary of the band's formation.
