Maria Christina Buarque de Holanda (December 23, 1950 – April 20, 2025) was a Brazilian singer and composer. She was the daughter of historian Sérgio Buarque de Holanda and sister of Chico Buarque, Miúcha and Ana de Hollanda.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva mourned the loss of Cristina, whom he called: “a talented singer and songwriter, who played an extraordinary role in Brazilian music by interpreting the songs of some of the most important composers of Rio's samba, helping the poetry and rhythm of Rio's hills to conquer the hearts of Brazilians.”
