Maria de Medeiros (pron. IPA ^*) (born August 19, 1965 in Lisbon) is a Portuguese actress --daughter of musician and composer António Vitorino de Almeida-- who has been involved in both European and American film productions.

Maria de Medeiros' most memorable film appearance was her portrayal of Anais Nin in Henry & June (1990). She landed this role partly because of her striking resemblance to the real-life character. She also starred in the Canadian movie The Saddest Music in the World (2004) directed by Guy Maddin, starring former Kids in the Hall actor Mark McKinney and Isabella Rossellini.

In 1994 De Medeiros appeared in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, where she played Bruce Willis' French girlfriend.
