Maroochydore is a coastal town and suburb of the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia.

The town was subdivided from the Cotton Tree reserve by Surveyor Thomas O’Connor in 1903. The land was acquired from William Pettigrew who had a timber depot at what is now Wharf Street. Its name comes from the Yuggera language word Muru-kutchi, meaning red-bill and referring to the black swan, which is commonly seen in the area.
