Other = Annapolis - Baltimore - List of peopleThis is a list of Maryland music groups, consisting of groups of Marylanders who are musically notable, musically notable groups of people with a connection to Maryland, and other groups who are notable within the music of Maryland. Groups listed may be relevant to the state of Maryland, the Province of Maryland or the area now known as Maryland before it was either a state or colony.

This list covers groups of people. There is a separate list of Maryland music people. A "group", as relevant to this list, refers to a group that primarily exists for the purpose of performing in an organized capacity. Thus, it does not include non-profit organizations that promote music, businesses that sell music-related goods or services, educational institutions that teach music, or social clubs that may feature performances but are not primarily attended for the purpose of seeing a specific musical group.

This list features any relevant musical group that:
#Is covered in an academic journal article or book, provided coverage goes beyond mere listing as an example of a broader trend
#Is documented as having special notability or popularity within a field
#Is listed in a reputably published appendix of performers, provided significant editorial discretion in selection was utilized
#Is a large, formally-organized group that has a history of regular performances (e.g. a symphony orchestra)
#Has received unusual coverage from reliable media sources, not necessarily for entirely musical reasons
