Polyscias maraisiana is a species of plant in the Araliaceae family that is native to Mauritius. It was formerly grown as an ornamental in Europe due to its heteroblastic leaves, but is rarely found in international cultivation now. It is beginning to be cultivated in its native country as an ornamental landscaping plant for gardens and public areas. It is named for the botanist Wessel Marais and is one of several Polyscias species endemic to Mauritius, including Polyscias dichroostachya, Polyscias neraudiana, Polyscias gracilis, and Polyscias paniculata.
