Maurren Higa Maggi (born June 25, 1976 in São Carlos) is a Brazilian athlete. She is the South American record holder at 100 metres hurdles and at long jump, with 12.71 seconds and 7.26 metres respectively. She also has 14.53 metres in the triple jump.

In 2003, Maurren got in a doping scandal after clostebol was found on her organism - an anti-scarring gel sheet that she used contained the anabolic steroid in its composition. Maurren was suspended for two years, leaving her out of the 2003 Pan American Games, and despite gaining a revogation in 2004, she gave up going to the Olympic Games due to a pregnancy.

Maurren is married to racer Antônio Pizzonia, with whom she has a daughter, Sophia.
