Ma Miao was a military general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. He was from Hailing, Guangling, Yang Province (present-day Rugao, Jiangsu).
Ma was tasked with defending Jiangyou (江油). During the invasion by the rival state of Cao Wei, Ma surrendered to the enemy general Deng Ai.
In Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ma became discouraged by corruption in the Shu Han imperial court due to the ineptitude of the emperor Liu Shan, and believed that the fall of Shu Han was inevitable. During the invasion by Cao Wei forces, Ma surrendered to Deng Ai and guided him to Shu Han's capital Chengdu.
