The Maria Mine (Kopalnia Maria; Hans-Heinrich- und Marie-Schacht; also Tiefbauschacht) was a coal mine in Wałbrzych, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. It formed part of the historic Waldenburg coalfield and was associated for many years with the House of Hochberg.

The mine is particularly notable in the history of industrial architecture in Lower Silesia because its two principal shafts formed a paired Malakoff-type ensemble linked by an intershaft building.
