Marija Šuštar (12 January 1905 – 27 January 1989) was a Slovenian ethnochoreologist and folklorist. She is known for her pioneering research on traditional Slovenian folk dances and her long association with the Institute of Ethnomusicology of the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts. She conducted extensive fieldwork throughout Slovenia and neighbouring border regions, documenting regional dance traditions and related aspects of folk culture, and played a central role in transforming collected material into scholarly publications and stage adaptations. She led the dance section of the Academic Folklore Group France Marolt from its founding in 1948 until her retirement in 1966, served as head of the folklore institute from 1951 to 1955, and was awarded the Order of Merit for the People with Gold Star in recognition of her cultural contributions.
