Maria Daskalogianni (Greek: Μαρία Δασκαλογιάννη) was a fighter of the Greek revolution of 1770 and the Greek War of Independence.
She came from Anopoli Sfakion and was the daughter of Ioannis Daskalogiannis, leader of the revolutionaries in Sfakia during the Revolution of 1770. Her mother was known as Sgouromallini and her siblings were Nikolaos, Andreas, Eleftheroussa and Anthousa.
She was captured during the Battle of Anopolis and given as a wife to the Pasha's interpreter, Abdulsamet Pasha. She and her husband then went to Constantinople where he had a house and property. When her Ottoman husband died, Maria went to Tinos and became a nun.[1]
When the revolution of 1821 burst out, she offered all the money to buy a nephew of hers a war ship and strengthen the struggle.
She died in Tinos in 1823 and as much property as she had left, as she had no children, she left it to Evangelistria of Tinos.
