María Pérez Rabaza (born 24 December 2001) is a Spanish professional footballer from Catalonia who plays as a defensive midfielder for Women's Championship club London City Lionesses.

[5] Pérez began playing with the local Sant Fost UE team, staying for six seasons before moving to the Espanyol-affiliated CF Penya Blanc i Blava La Roca for three.

[6][8] Barcelona coach Lluís Cortés saw in her what he called the rare qualities of a true defensive midfielder, wanting to bring her in and develop her in the pivot role for the club.

[17] Pérez represented Spain at under-19 and under-23 before being called up to the senior team in November 2022 at the age of 20,[6] leaving an ongoing under-23 training camp to join them, while still primarily registered with Barcelona B in the country's second league division and having only played 97 minutes of top-flight football during the season.

[20] On selecting Pérez for the World Cup, Vilda said that she is the player most similar to Sergio Busquets that was available to him; he was impressed with her quality in training camps and she was given her first international start for the pre-tournament friendly against Panama.

[24] Diario AS has highlighted Pérez's possession and close control of the ball as strong, with good movement and an ability to read the game.
