Mariaheide is a village in the south of the Netherlands. It is situated in the municipality of Meierijstad, North Brabant.
Mariaheide was founded as a linear settlement along the road from VegheltoUden. Real population growth never got off the ground though, and in 1907 Mariaheide still only consisted of several farms on cultivated former heathland. However that year, Mariaheide split off from the St. Lambert ParishinVeghel, to form a new and separate parish, the Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish, and got its own church. In 1912, the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of the Holy Mother of God from Veghel, founded the St. Nicholas Monastery in Mariaheide.
