Adrian "Aidy" Joseph Mariappa (born 3 October 1986 in Harrow) is an English central defender, currently playing for Watford.

A former Academy side captain and reserve team regular, Mariappa made his first team debut in a League Cup match against Notts County on 23 August 2005. He made another cup start against Wigan Athletic in the 3rd round. During the 2005–06 season he made three league appearances, including a clean-sheet in his first league start against Hull City on the final day of the 2005–06 Championship season.

Watford started their 2006–2007 Premiership campaign at Everton, with Mariappa starting in central defence in place of first-team regular Jay DeMerit. He was substituted at half-time, and, aside from a League Cup appearance against Accrington Stanley, did not make another first-team appearance until December 2006. On 16 December 2007 away at Newcastle United he came on for the injured James Chambers at right-back. He started the next game against Liverpool, and was a regular in the position for the remainder of the season.

With Watford back in the Championship for 2007–08, Mariappa has found himself largely on the substitute bench, with Lloyd Doyley started every 2007 league match at right-back.
