Marie Christine Felizitas of Leiningen-Dagsburg-Falkenburg-Heidesheim (29 December 1692 – 3 June 1734), was a German noblewoman member of the House of Leiningen and by her two marriages Princess of Baden-Durlach and Duchess of Saxe-Eisenach.

Born in Broich Castle, Mülheim an der Ruhr,[1] she was the fourth from seven children of Johann Karl August, Count of Leiningen-Dagsburg-Falkenburg-Heidesheim and Lord of Broich and Bürgel by his wife Countess Johanna Magdalene of Hanau-Lichtenberg. From Marie Christine's six older and younger siblings, only three survive adulthood: one sister, Sophie Magdalene (by marriage Countess of Salm-Grumbach) and two brothers, Christian Karl Reinhard and Johann Wilhelm Ludwig.[2][better source needed]
