The Russian looked to be heading out as she trailed by a set and a break at 3-4 down in the second.
However, Sharapova broke back immediately and went onto win the second set on a tie-break before raising her game to another level with a string of incredible winners to take the decider 6-3.
The four-time Grand Slam champion will face third seed Agnieska Radwanska or French qualifier Caroline Garcia in the semifinals on Saturday.
"I will say the match was very close. I think it really could have gone her way today," admitted Sharapova.
"It was just a matter of a few points in the second set and in the third, although I was up a break throughout the third set, you know she's not going to let go. I didn't win the match until the last point was played."
Li looked on course for the semifinals when she broke to lead 4-3 in the second set.
There were three breaks of serve to open the third set, but Sharapova took control when she finally consolidated the break at 3-1 and was gifted the final game when Li double faulted on match point.
