Maria Hueber (22 May 1653 – 31 July 1705) was a Tyrolean religious sister, a pioneer in educating girls in and foundress of a congregation of the Third Order of Saint Francis in Brixen.

She moved to Bolzano, Innsbruck, and then Salzburg in the 1670s, to work in several residences of lay and clergy alike, before her mother's ill health forced her to return home.

[3] Hueber's confessor, Isidor Kirnigl, had come across a community of religious sisters in Rome who were teaching poor girls.

When he suggested that Maria attempt something similar in Brixen, she, along with her associate Regina Pfurner, started a congregation Franciscan tertiaries and opened a school for girls on 12 September 1700: the first such institution in Tyrol.

[1] On 19 March 2019, Pope Francis authorized Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu, prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to issue the decree of her heroic virtue.
