Robert Grant Marshall (1876 – 1962) was a Scottish footballer who played as an outside-right, notably for Liverpool and Portsmouth.

Marshall started his career in his native Scotland with Leith Athletic.[1] He left the club in 1897 to transfer to Liverpool, of the English First Division.[2] Marshall struggled to establish himself as a regular at the club and, in 1899, transferred to Portsmouth. He went on to make 131 appearances, scoring 19 goals[3] and helping the side win the Southern Football League in the 1901–02 season.[2]

He was unrelated to John Marshall, who scored for Third Lanark in the 1889 Scottish Cup Final against Celtic.[2]
