Mara Buneva (Cyrillic: Мара Бунева; 1902 – January 13, 1928) was a Macedonian Bulgarian revolutionary, a member of the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization, who assassinated Velimir Prelić, a former Serbian Chetnik commander and Yugoslav legal official of the Skopje Oblast. She shot herself in the chest, and subsequently died in a hospital a few hours after the attack, while Prelić died a few days later.

In general Buneva is considered a heroine in Bulgaria, while in North Macedonia she is regarded as a controversial Bulgarophile. Her death is commemorated annually at the place where she shot herself on Vardar in Skopje.
