Maria Anna (August 18, 1606 – May 13, 1646), also known as Maria Anna of Austria, Infanta of Spain, Archduchess of Austria, and after marriage, The Holy Roman Empress and Queen of Hungary and Bohemia^[1], was the youngest daughter of King Philip III of Spain and Margaret of Austria.

She was a younger sister of Anne of Austria, queen consort of Louis XIII of France, and Philip IV of Spain. She was also an older sister of Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand.

In the early 1620s, James I of England envisioned Maria Anna as a possible bride for his son and heir, the future Charles I of England and Scotland. Charles even visited Madrid to meet the young Maria Anna. In English history, this possible marriage is known as the Spanish Match. However, negotiations failed, and Charles eventually married Henrietta Maria of France.

She was married instead to her first cousin, the future Ferdinand III, then the titular king of Hungary, on 20 February 1631. They were parents to six children:

• Ferdinand IV of Hungary (8 September 1633–9 July 1654).
• Mariana of Austria (23 December 1634–16 May 1696). Married her maternal uncle Philip IV of Spain. They were parents to Charles II of Spain, degenerate last Habsburg monarch of Spain.
• Philip August, Archduke of Austria (1637–1639).
• Maximilian Thomas, Archduke of Austria (1638–1639).
• Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor (9 June 1640–5 May 1705).
• Maria of Austria (1646).

During the Thirty Years War, the imperial family moved to Linz, where she died of poisoning during her last pregnancy.^{[citation needed]} The child she was carrying, Maria, was still alive, and was born by cesarean section, but died soon after. Mother and daughter were buried together in a single coffin.
