Mariana Efstratiou is a Greek singer.
In 1987, she was one of the backing vocalists for the pop duo Bang when they represented Greece at Eurovision that year, with the song Stop. Two years later, she won the Greek national final, allowing her to represent Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest 1989 in Lausanne with the song To Dhiko Sou Asteri. The song placed ninth overall.
Seven years later, the ERT internally selected her again for the Eurovision Song Contest 1996, this time with the folk-based song Emeis Forame to Himona Anixiatika. Qualifying from the audio-only round, it only placed 14th in the grand final overall. She tried to represent the country again in the 1998 contest, singing two songs in the national final, but neither of them won.
Releasing two albums and a promo single, she is currently the lead singer for the jazz band Nova Mood.
She was one of the five jurors for Greece in the 2015 contest in Vienna.
