Maryknoll Sisters of St. Dominic
- Maryknoll Sisters of St. Dominic

The Maryknoll Sisters of St. Dominic, or simply Maryknoll Sisters, are a group of Roman Catholic women religious founded in the Village of Ossining, Westchester County, New York, in 1912, six months after the 1911 creation of the Maryknoll community of missionary brothers and fathers.[1] Until 1954, when they became a pontifical institute, the order was known as the Foreign Mission Sisters of St. Dominic.[2] The sisters use the suffix "M.M." after their names.
The order was founded by Mother Mary Joseph (née Mary Josephine Rogers), from Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, a graduate of Smith College (1905).
The Sisters profess the evangelical counsels and devote their lives in service overseas. They currently number more than 500 members from diverse cultural backgrounds serving in a variety of fields including medicine, communications, education, agriculture, social services and spiritual formation.
In the spirit of this "no two alike" diversity, the Sisters serve the needs of the people where they are missioned, in thirty different countries around the world.
Some of the schools the sisters founded are Maryknoll Convent School in Kowloon, Hong Kong, Holy Spirit School (later Maryknoll Sisters' School, now Marymount Secondary School) in Happy Valley, Hong Kong, Maryknoll College (now Miriam College) in Quezon City, and the Maryknoll Academy (now Maryhill College) in Lucena City Philippines.
