Maggie Estep is an American poet and writer. She released two albums: Love is a Dog From Hell and No More Mr. Nice Girl.

Estep was born in 1962 in Summit, New Jersey. She emerged in the early 1990s when grunge was the height of fashion and her aggressive political and gender-themed rant poetry was highly accessible. Her closest brush with megastardom was with the track "Hey Baby", with an accompanying video that received moderate rotation on MTV. The video was highlighted on Beavis & Butt-head.

She later contributed vocals to two songs on Recoil's 1997 album Unsound Methods, including the single "Control Freak".

Estep went on to write several novels including the mystery novels featuring Ruby Murphy, "Gargantuan" and "Hex".
