Ma Haiyan (1837–1900) was a Chinese Muslim general of the Qing Dynasty.

Dong Fuxiang, Ma Anliang and Ma Haiyan were originally called to Beijing during the First Sino-Japanese War in 1894, but the Dungan Revolt (1895) broke out and they were subsequently sent to crush the rebels.

He fought against the foreign Eight Nation alliance in the Boxer Rebellion with his nephew Ma Biao serving under him, besieged the Catholic Xishiku cathedral and the legations, and defeated the alliance at Battle of Langfang, and died of exhaustion while he and the Kansu Braves were escorting the imperial family to safety.
