John Maine (born May 8, 1981) is a Major League Baseball pitcher who currently plays for the New York Mets of the National League.

Maine, the right-hander from Hartwood, Virginia, played college baseball at Charlotte where he was named the Conference USA Pitcher of the Year in 2001 and 2002 and set the 49ers' all-time mark for career wins.

Maine decided to forego his senior season at Charlotte and was drafted by Baltimore in the sixth round of the 2002 baseball amateur draft. After two years in the minor leagues, Maine made his debut with the Orioles on July 23, 2004. After spending the latter half of 2004 and most of 2005 shuffling between Baltimore and Triple-A Ottawa, Maine recorded his first Major League win on August 13, 2005 at Camden Yards with a 1-0 shutout victory over Toronto in which he started and pitched five innings.

Maine was traded to the Mets on January 21, 2006 along with righty Jorge Julio to acquire starting pitcher Kris Benson. He figures to begin the 2006 season at AAA Norfolk.
