The Fighting Maroons is the varsity team of the University of the Philippines, Diliman. The team competes in all sports of University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP), in which it is one of the founding members (1938). The team is a perennial contender for the over-all championship for the past years in that league. It was also a founding member and the mastermind of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the year 1924.

The team last won the UAAP Overall Championships in the 1997-1998 season, two years before the University last hosted the competitions.

The University of the Philippines Integrated School is the junior affiliate school. They play as the Junior Maroons, formerly the Preps.

The word Maroon comes from the Spanish word cimarron which means wild: untamed. They were slaves who either ran away from or were released by the Spanish before the English invaded Jamaica in 1655. They were successful in retaining their independence after 150 years of slavery by constantly defending their freedom. Their settlements were small, not more than 2,000 strong, but they fought as if they were in greater numbers. (taken from The History of Jamaica)

The use of the term embodies the spirit of students of the University to "escape" from the status quo, by trying to bring it to a state of betterment. The adjective "fighting" was added for the athletic team to intensify the eagerness to combat any obstacles to win for the honor of the University.

Former names include the Maroons and Greens and the Parrots.
