Maria Machongua (born 31 January 1993) is a Mozambican boxer, who competed for her country at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

For the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, she was coached by Northern Irish trainer Harry Hawkins alongside the rest of the Mozambique boxers.

[2] Hawkins said of Machongua when he first met her, "She was completely unknown to us, but you could tell taking her on the pads that she wasn't bad - and she listened intently to what you were saying".

Each morning before weigh-ins, she needed to eat and drink in order to meet the minimum weight of 57 kilograms (126 lb) for the class.

[4] Machongua won again in the second round, setting up a match in the semi-finals with former world champion Laishram Sarita Devi of India.
