María Padín (1888–1970) was a Uruguayan film, radio, and theater actress and producer who had a successful career in Argentina.
The daughter of circus actors Manuel Padín (the clown Padín el 77) and Eulalia Mendizábal (trapeze artist), María Padín had a sister from this marriage named Aída Padín, who would later marry Francisco Aniceto Benavente and give her a nephew, Saulo Benavente, a painter, illuminator, and scenographer. After her parents separated, Manuel Padín married the Uruguayan actress Máxima Hourquet, giving María seven half-siblings (one of whom died a young child), including the first comic actress and vedette Margarita Padín, and the young figures Pilar Padín and Fausto Padín. Her sister-in-law was the actress Raquel Oquendo.
María started working as a professional actress in 1905 with the Podestá Brothers, and later also worked in radio and television. In radio, she was the first actress of the Radio-Teatrales Argentinas companies of Ricardo Migueres and Ricardo Bustamante.
Her appearance in cinema occurred very early, starring alongside leading figures of the golden age of Argentine cinema, including Orfilia Rico, Azucena Maizani, Floren Delbene, Carlos Dux, Julio Scarcella, Celestino Petray, Santiago Arrieta, Homero Cárpena, Pedro Aleandro, Ilde Pirovano, and Domingo Sapelli. In Chile she acted in several historical silent films with her husband Arturo Mario as director.
