Maria-sama ga Miteru (マリア様がみてる, Maria Watches Over Us) is a 2010 Japanese film co-written and directed by Kōtarō Terauchi.

The film is based on the light novel series Maria-sama ga Miteru written by Oyuki Konno, with illustrations by Reine Hibiki.

Yumi Fukuzawa (Honoka Miki) has been attending Lillian Girls' Academy, a Catholic high school, for about six months when one day, while praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance, she is approached by second-year student Sachiko Ogasawara (Haru) who straightens Yumi's uniform neckerchief.

Third-year student and Rosa Chinensis Yōko Mizuno (Kaoru Hirata) explains to Yumi that they will be performing Cinderella at the upcoming school festival.

Sachiko has been chosen to play the lead opposite Suguru Kashiwagi (Masahiro Usui), the student council president of the neighboring Hanadera Boys' Academy, much to her displeasure.
