"Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)" is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin from their album Led Zeppelin II, released in 1969. It was also released as a single in Japan and as the B-side of the single "Whole Lotta Love" in the United States.

The song is about a groupie who stalked the band early in their career.[2] It is guitarist Jimmy Page's least favourite Led Zeppelin song and thus was never performed in concert.[2] However, the song did reach the charts in the US (Hot 100)[3] and Japan (Oricon).[4]

This song immediately follows "Heartbreaker" on side 2 of Led Zeppelin II and radio stations have traditionally played them together in succession.[5]
