Maria Kanellis (born February 25, 1982) better known simply as Maria, is an American professional wrestler, working for World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW brand. She also makes regular appearances in WWE's training territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling. While in OVW Maria has been involved in several feuds, most notably with Sosay.

On the January 1, 2007 edition of RAW, Maria attempted to interview Kevin Federline, but was instead slapped by Melina and called a "bitch". This led to a match between the two later that night, with Maria on the losing end. At New Year's Revolution Maria and Candice Michelle went down to the ring during the Women's Championship match between Victoria and Mickie James, and stopped Melina from interfering for much longer. For two consecutive weeks afterwards, Maria would get herself two tag team partners - Mickie James and Jeff Hardy, respectively - to take on Melina and a partner. She lost one tag match, but won the other. Her feud with Melina would culminate in a No. 1 Contender's Match for the Women's Championship in which she again lost via submission.
She has a 17 year old sister, Janny, and a 22 year old brother, Bill, who served in the National Guard.
She is dating current ECW Extremist CM Punk, which she confirmed in an interview with The Sun after pictures of the two kissing surfaced on the internet.
She arrived in 3rd place at the 2004 Outback Jack reality show.
She enjoyed watching The Hardy Boyz and Lita when she was growing up and has high respect for them.
