Maid Marian, first published in 1822, was the fourth novel by scholar and man of letters, Thomas Love Peacock (1785 - 1866).

Unlike Peacock's other novels, Maid Marian has a subtantial plot, based on the romantic legend of Robin Hood. As is usual with Peacock, the violence is presented in a rather humourous fashion and the characters indulge lavishly in eating and drinking. Beneath the veneer of this well-known and innocuous narrative, Peacock finds ample opportunity to satirize the foibles of church and secular government.
