Maruia is a locality in the West Coast region of New Zealand.

The Maruia River flows past to the west.

The community celebrated 100 years of settlement in the Maruia Valley in 2005.

[4] The Maruia Valley inspired the environmental lobby group, the Maruia Society (later changing its name to the Ecologic Foundation) and the Maruia Mail Order Catalogue, organised by the New Zealand Nature Company.
