Maribondo is a municipality located in the Brazilian state of Alagoas. Its population is 13,193 (2020) and its area is 171 km2.

== History == Small place called Poço da Caatinga was established in 1905, 18 kilometers away from Anadia, and had this name for having a well of clear water located between Inga and Cassia fistula trees. In the middle of the vegetation a large house of Wasps (maribondos) was formed, and the place became called Poço da Casa de Maribondos. Among farms, José Sapucaia de Araújo's was the one that developed the most, with the installation of the first cotton steamer in 1910. In 1913, the Azevedo family arrived in the region and, soon after, José Xavier de Azevedo installed the first fair, destroyed by the Anadia municipal guard.
