The Maria Mine material ropeway (Polish: Kolej linowa kopalni Maria) was an industrial material ropeway in Wałbrzych (German: Waldenburg) in Lower Silesia, Poland. It served the nearby Maria Mine and was used to transport waste rock from the mine area to a spoil tip outside the main mining complex.

The installation formed part of the surface infrastructure of the mine and functioned primarily as a waste-handling system rather than a coal-transport installation.
