Fred Marshall (10 March 1883 – 1 November 1962) was a British politician.

Born in South Anston, Yorkshire, Marshall, a wagon builder by trade, was elected as a Labour Party member of Sheffield City Council in 1919, serving as Lord Mayor of Sheffield in 1933/4.

He entered Parliament by winning the 1930 Sheffield Brightside by-election, but lost the seat at the following year's general election.

Marshall was re-elected, again for Sheffield Brightside, at the 1935 general election. He was also elected as Chairman of the National Union of General and Municipal Workers, and from 1945 until 1947, served as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Town and Country Planning. Marshall stood down from Parliament in 1950.
