Maciej Skorża (Polish pronunciation: [ˈmat͡ɕɛj ˈskɔrʐa]; born January 10, 1972 in Radom) is a Polish football manager.

During his short playing career, he was as a defender for Radomiak Radom and AZS-AWF Warszawa.

In 1994, he began his coaching career as a youth coach for Legia Warszawa. He managed SMS Piaseczno during the 1998–99 season. From 1999 to 2003, he coached the Amica Wronki youth team and was successful in winning a league title in 2002. He also was an assistant to Mirosław Jabłoński while at Wisła Płock.

In May 2003, Paweł Janas appointed Skorża as a coach for the Poland national football team.

He had a short spell at Wisła Płock as an assistant manager before returning to Amica Wronki as manager in 2004. In the 2004–05 season, Skorża became the first Polish coach to manage to qualify a Polish football club to the group stage of the UEFA Cup. In the 2006-2007 season, he joined Dyskobolia Grodzisk Wielkopolski and won the Polish Cup and Ekstraklasa Cup. On June 13, 2007, Skorża was appointed as the manager of Wisła Kraków which he led twice to league title, winning Ekstraklasa in seasons 2007-08 and 2008-09. He worked with Wisła Kraków until March 15, 2010, when the Wisła's board of directors fired him after a series of three games without a win, in spite of the club holding the lead of the league.
