María José Pons Gómez (born 8 August 1984), commonly known as Mariajo, is a Spanish footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for the Catalonia women's national football team. She previously played for CD Sabadell, FC Barcelona, Levante UD, with whom she won one League and one Cup,[1] and Valencia. She was a key player in the league success, conceding nine goals in 25 matches.[2] She had previously won the 2003 Cup with CE Sabadell. During her four seasons with Espanyol (2009–2013) she added two further Cup winner's medals to her collection.

She is a member of the Spain women's national football team,[3] where she is a reserve goalkeeper as of the 2013 European Championship qualifying.[4] When regular custodian Ainhoa Tirapu was injured, Mariajo stood in for qualifying games against Switzerland[5] and Turkey.

In June 2013, national team coach Ignacio Quereda confirmed Mariajo as a member of his 23-player squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 finals in Sweden.[6]
