Newaya Maryam (Amharic: ንዋየ ማርያም^?) (property of Mary; throne name Wedem Asfare or Gemma Asfare) was Emperor (nəgusä nägäst) (1372–1382) of Ethiopia, and a member of the Solomonic dynasty. He was the eldest son of Newaya Krestos.

Reign

During his reign, Haqq ad-Din II of the Walasma dynasty gained control of the kingdom of Ifat on the southeastern frontier of Ethiopia in 1376, and began raids against the Empire.^[1] According to E. A. Wallis Budge, the Royal Chronicles state that "little was known about" Newaya Maryam, and he died without issue.^[2] He was buried at Asar, but his descendant Emperor Baeda Maryam I had his body re-interred at the church of Atronsa Maryam.^[3]
