"Marry You" is a song by American singer and songwriter Bruno Mars from his debut studio album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans (2010). Written and produced by the Smeezingtons, it serves as the record's sixth track and was released as a single outside of the United States. "Marry You" is a pop, doo-wop and soul song. The recording focuses on spontaneous marriage and therefore, since its release, has frequently been used as a proposal song. "Marry You" received generally positive reviews from music critics, with some complimenting its production and its reminiscence of 1960s pop style. Some criticized a perceived lack of creativity.

Despite not being released as a single in the US, the song charted at number 85 on the Billboard Hot 100. It entered the top ten of most international markets, reaching number 10 on the Canadian Hot 100, number eight in Australia, the top five in New Zealand. The single was certified four times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and three times by Music Canada (MC). Mars has performed "Marry You" on all his tours since 2010. The song has been covered a number of times, most notably by the cast of Glee; their cover outperformed the original song by reaching number 32 on the Hot 100.
