Ma Midi (died 194) was an official who lived during the late Han Dynasty period of Chinese history. He is also featured as a character in Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. When Wang Yun decided to execute Cai Yong for showing sympathy with respect to Dong Zhuo's death, it was Ma who urged for leniency toward Cai. He was ordered by the court to the warlord of the east but was detained by Yuan Shu and died in grief.
