María Amaya Martínez Grisaleña[1] (born 6 November 1968) is a Spanish journalist and politician who has been a member of the Basque Parliament for the Vox party since 2020.

Martínez Grisaleña studied journalism at the Universidad del País Vasco before running a company selling non-lethal weaponry with her husband.[2] Although she is a native Basque speaker, she has spoken out against what she claims as linguistic discrimination in the Basque Country against the Spanish language.[3]

She was elected to the Basque Parliament during the 2020 Basque regional election for Vox and is currently the only Vox representative in the Basque Parliament.
