Countess Maria Zofia Czartoryska nee Sieniawska (1698–1771) was a Polish szlachcianka (noble lady).

She married Stanislaw Donhoff in 1724. After her father's death in 1726 Maria Zofia inherited his Ruthenian estates including 35 towns, 235 villages and Berezhany fortress, she was also the only inheritor of her husband's estates and of her mother's fortune. Among the candidates to the hand of one of the wealthiest women in Europe were Charles de Bourbon-Conde, Count of Charolais supported by France (Louis XV even invited Maria Zofia to Versailles), Portuguese infante Dom Manuel de Braganca supported by the Habsburgs (proposed as the next King of Poland, due to the tenets of the Lowenwolde's Treaty), Jan Klemens Branicki, Franciszek Salezy Potocki, Jan Tarlo and August Aleksander Czartoryski, who eventually won the competition full of duels and speech encounters due to support of Augustus II, as the latter was afraid of increase of power of his opponents. She married August Aleksander Czartoryski on July 17, 1731 in Warsaw.
