The Bartel BM-1 Maryla was a fighter aircraft design for the Polish military that did not advance beyond the design stage.

The design was a single-seat parasol-wing monoplane similar in configuration to the Nieuport-Delage sesquiplanes of the era. A distinctive feature were Y-shaped struts joining wing with an undercarriage. It was not built.
