Girolamo Maiorica (Portuguese: Jerónimo Majorica; chữ Nôm: 支由尼模 梅烏栘?, chữ Hán: 梅烏理哥; Vietnamese alphabet: Giê-rô-ni-mô Mai-ô-ri-ca / Mai Ô Lý Ca; 1591–1656) was a 17th-century Italian Jesuit missionary to Vietnam. He is known for compiling numerous Roman Catholic works written in the Vietnamese language's demotic chữ Nôm script, both on his own and with assistance from local converts. Maiorica was one of the first authors of original Nôm prose. His works are seen as a milestone in the history of Vietnamese literature.
