Lloyd Marshall (June 4, 1914 – August 4, 1997) was an American light heavyweight boxer who competed from 1936 to 1951. Although he never fought for a world title, Marshall was a skilled fighter who faced tough opposition throughout his career (including victories over several former and future title holders). Marshall was considered a member of the Murderers' Row, a group of the most feared black fighters of the 1940s, who were often avoided by contemporary champions.

In June 2010 Marshall was posthumously inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
