Maxinquaye is the debut album of Bristol, England rapper/producer Tricky, released in 1995. Expanding on the sonic template of fellow Bristolians Massive Attack, and featuring then-girlfriend Martina Topley-Bird on vocals, Maxinquaye is a dark, mysterious album featuring a combination of hip-hop, soul, dub, rock and electronica. The album is named after Tricky's late mother Maxine Quaye, who is allegedly reggae/soul singer Finley Quaye's half-sister.

In 2000 Q magazine placed Maxinquaye at number 36 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.
