Mara Hautea Schnittka (/ˌmɑːrə hɔːtɛæ ʃnɪtkɑː/; born March 19, 1995), known professionally as Julia Montes, is a Filipino actress of German descent. She began acting as a child on television by playing guest roles and starring in Goin' Bulilit. Montes gained widespread recognition with her first significant role and breakthrough playing the mean and spoiled Clara del Valle in the remake of Mara Clara (2010–11), following which she made her film debut in the family drama Way Back Home (2011).

After Mara Clara ended, she starred in the critically acclaimed romantic drama Walang Hanggan (2012), as Katerina Alcantara, for which she won the Princess of Philippine Television Award, and in Muling Buksan Ang Puso (2013), as Sarah Beltran.
