Maria Dmitrievna Subbotina (Russian: Мария Дмитриевна Субботина; 1854–1878) was a Russian Narodnik revolutionary. Born into a noble family in the Oryol, she was educated in Moscow and moved abroad to study medicine at the University of Zurich. In Switzerland, she became involved in the socialist circles led by Pyotr Lavrov and Mikhail Bakunin, the latter of whom she followed to Zagreb in order to organise among Serbian nationalists planning the Herzegovina uprising. In 1874, she returned to Russia, where she began organising factory works in Ivanovo and Moscow. She was arrested for her activities and tried in the Trial of the 50, which sentenced her to exile in Siberia, although her sentence was lessened to exile in the Volga region, as she had fallen seriously ill. She died of tuberculosis while in exile in Novouzensk.
