Maggi is a brand marketed by Nestlé which produces instant soups, stocks and noodles. It was founded by the Maggi family in Switzerland in the 19th century, and merged with Nestlé in 1947.

Maggi is particularly well known in Malaysia and Singapore for its instant noodles, to the extent that "Maggi noodles" are synonymous with instant noodles in those countries. A popular dish served there is known as Maggi goreng (fried Maggi noodles).

In german-speaking europe, "Maggi" is synonymous with the brand's "Maggi-Würze" (Maggi spice), a dark sauce which is very similar to asian soy sauce. It was invented by company founder Julius Maggi in 1886 as a cheap substitute for meat extract and has since become a well-known part of everyday culinary culture in Switzerland and especially in Germany.

Before Maggi finally became a mere brand in 1947, it also introduced the bouillon cube in 1908, which was another meat substitution product.
