* '''Maverick A''' is the basic model and uses an electro-optical television guidance system. No longer in U.S. service.
* '''Maverick B''' is similar to the A model, although the B model added optical zooming to lock onto small or distant targets.
* '''Maverick C''' was to be a laser-guided variant for the [[United States Marine Corps]] (USMC). It was canceled before production, however its requirement was later met by the Maverick E.
* '''Maverick D''' replaced the electro-optical guidance with an [[Thermographic camera|imaging infrared system]] which doubled the practical firing distance and allowed for its use at night and during bad weather. A reduced smoke rocket engine was also introduced in this model. It achieved its initial operation capability in 1986.
* '''Maverick E''' uses a laser designator guidance system optimized for fortified installations using a delayed fuse combined with a heavier penetrating blast-fragmentation warhead ({{convert|300|lb|kg|abbr=on|order=flip}} vs. {{convert|125|lb|abbr=on|order=flip}} in older models) that perforates a target with its kinetic energy before detonation. It achieved [[initial operating capability]] in 1985 and was used mainly by USMC aviation.
* '''Maverick F''', designed specially for [[United States Navy]], it uses a modified Maverick D infrared guidance system optimized for tracking ships fitted onto a Maverick-E body and warhead.
* '''Maverick G''' model essentially has the same guidance system as the D with some software modification that enables the pilot to track larger targets. The G model's major difference is its heavier penetrator warhead taken from the Maverick E, compared to the D model's [[shaped charge|shaped-charge warhead]]. It completed tests in 1988.
* '''Maverick H''' model is an AGM-65B/D missile upgraded with a new [[charge-coupled device]] (CCD) seeker better suited for the desert environment.
* '''Maverick J''' model is a Navy AGM-65F missile upgraded with the new CCD seeker. However, this conversion is not confirmed.
* '''Maverick K''' model is an AGM-65G upgraded with the CCD seeker; at least 1,200, but possibly up to 2,500 AGM-65G rounds are planned for conversion to AGM-65K standard.<ref name=ds />
* '''Maverick E2/L''' model incorporates a laser-guided seeker that allows for designation by the launch aircraft, another aircraft, or a ground source and can engage small, fast moving, and maneuvering targets on land and at sea.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://raytheon.mediaroom.com/index.php?item=1886 |title=U.S. Air Force Completes Developmental Testing of Raytheon Laser-Guided Maverick |first=Mike |last=Nachshen |date=9 August 2011 |website=Raytheon |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714201803/http://raytheon.mediaroom.com/index.php?item=1886 |archive-date=14 July 2014 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/singapore-air-show/2012-02-15/laser-maverick-missile-will-hit-pirates |title=Laser Maverick Missile Will Hit Pirates |first=David |last=Donald |date=February 15, 2012 |website=AIN Online |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714132828/http://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/singapore-air-show/2012-02-15/laser-maverick-missile-will-hit-pirates |archive-date=14 July 2014}}</ref>
