Maria Vladimirovna Dolgorukova (Мария Владимировна Долгорукова in Russian) (1601 – 17 January 1625) was the first wife of Tsar Michael I of Russia.
She was a daughter of a boyar Knyaz Vladimir Timofeyevich Dolgorukov and wife Princess Maria Vasilievna Barbashina-Shuiskaya. Her family were of Rurikid stock and related to the ancient grand princes of Russia, unlike her husband.
Maria Vladimirovna died four months after her marriage to Michael, which took place in 1624. Maria died from labor difficulties. Either she was already pregnant at her marriage, or she went into pre-term labor.

Famous quotes containing the word maria:
“God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
Was born upon this day,
To save us all from Satan’s power
When we were gone astray.
O tidings of comfort and joy!
For Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
Was born on Christmas Day.”
—Dinah Maria Mulock Craik (1826–1887)
