Marnie Elizabeth McBean (born January 28, 1968 in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian rower.

McBean competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics in the coxless pairs and eights events, winning gold medals in both. At the 1996 Summer Olympics she competed in the double and quadruple sculls, winning gold in the double and bronze in the quadruple.[1] With her long-time rowing partner Kathleen Heddle, she was the first Canadians to win three Olympic Gold medals.[citation needed] In addition to her other exploits, McBean won a Silver medal in the prestigious single scull event at the 1993 World Rowing Championships.[citation needed]

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, McBean was set to represent Canada in the single scull and she had hoped to win a fourth gold medal. After travelling to Australia, a back injury which eventually required an operation forced McBean to withdraw from the Olympics[2] and McBean decided to retire from international competition.

In 1997, McBean was inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. In 2002, McBean was awarded the Thomas Keller Medal by FISA, the International Rowing Federation, for her outstanding career in international rowing.[3]

McBean graduated from the University of Western Ontario.[4]
