Infanta Maria of Portugal (6 April 1342 - AFT 1363), pron. IPA[mɐ'ɾiɐ], was a Portuguese infanta, first daughter of King Peter I of Portugal and his Queen consort Constance of Peñafiel.

Maria was born in Évora on April 6, 1342. In 1354 she married Infante Fernando of Aragon, Marquis of Tortosa, son of Aragonese King Alfonso IV.

Fernando was murdered by his half-brother Peter IV of Aragon in 1363. Maria then returned to Portugal where she died in the city of Aveiro in a year after 1363. She is buried in the Convent of Saint Claire of Coimbra.
