Maurren Higa Maggi (born 25 June 1976) is a Brazilian retired track and field athlete and Olympic gold medallist om the long jump. She is the South American record holder in the 100 metres hurdles and long jump, with 12.71 seconds and 7.26 metres respectively.

She is the first Brazilian woman to win an Olympic gold medal in an individual sport. Maurren served a two-year ban from 2003 to 2004 for an unintentional anti-doping rule violation after testing positive for clostebol.

She finished second at the 2009 Troféu Brasil Caixa de Atletismo to Keila Costa, losing the event for the first time since 1998. Maurren was married to racer Antônio Pizzonia, with whom she has a daughter, Sophia.
