The Infanta Maria Manuela (1527–1545, pron. IPA: [mɐ'ɾiɐ mɐnu'ɛlɐ]; English: Mary Emmanuella) was a Portuguese infanta daughter of King John III of Portugal and his wife Catherine of Habsburg. She was Princess Consort of Asturias and between 1527 and 1535 Princess of Portugal.

Maria was born in Coimbra on October 15, 1527 and was one of the few children of John III to survive childhood. She married her double-cousin Prince Philip of Asturias (future Philip II of Spain and I of Portugal) and was the mother of Prince Carlos, a deformed child who was heir of the Spanish crown.

Maria died soon after she gave birth to Don Carlos of Spain (1545-1568) on August 12 1545 in Valladolid, Spain.
