John Westland Marston

John Westland Marston (1819–1890) was an English dramatist.

Born in Boston, Lincolnshire, Marston wrote several plays, including "Strathmore" and "Marie de Méranie". His son, the poet Philip Bourke Marston (1850–1887), was blind from the age of three wrote four volumes of verse in the manner of the Pre-Raphaelites; they include Songtide (1871) and Wind Voices (1883).

Although his poetic dramas, including The Patrician's Daughter (1842) and The Favourite of Fortune (1866), were popular, he is more noteworthy for his literary criticism, most particularly his review of Swinburne's Atalanta in Calydon.
