Maria Cristina Giongo (born Milan, 5 May 1951), is an Italian journalist and author.
She lives in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, where she works as a correspondent for Italian magazines. From 1976 until 1981 she presented a thousand broadcasts of a daily live-program for consumers, partly dedicated to interviews with well known persons in politics, public health service, daily topics, fashion and beauty. She won a television prize for this program ('premio onda tivu'), in the category Actuality and talkshow. In 1997 she made a documentary about the use of drugs in the Netherlands with a team of the RAI, in cooperation with the UN.

She wrote hundreds of articles for daily papers as 'Il Giornale' and 'Libero' and for weekly papers as 'Il popolo lombardo' and 'Oggi', 'Novella 2000', 'Astra', 'Alba', 'Sette', 'Salve', 'Visto', 'Corriere Medico', from Rizzoli Rcs publishers. In these magazines appeared various interviews with, for example the Dutch politicians Geert Wilders and Jan-Peter Balkenende, political scientist Alexandre Del Valle, the Italian writer Niccolò Ammaniti, the actor Lino Banfi and the Italian singer-songwriters Al Bano, Roberto Vecchioni and Toto Cutugno. For the 'Corriere della Sera' she did an interview with Karol Wojtyła (later Pope John Paul II). An article of her meeting with him appeared in 'Avvenire' on the occasion of his beatification. She also wrote an article on the marriage of the heir to the Dutch throne Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima.
