Marti Maraden (born June 22, 1945 in El Centro, California) is a Canadian actor and director. She emigrated to Canada in 1968, and became a leading actor at the Stratford Festival in the 1970s.[1]

She was Artistic Director of the National Arts Centre English Theatre in Ottawa from 1997 to 2006.[2] While in this position, and arising from her activities in that role, the National Arts Centre co-founded the Magnetic North Theatre Festival.[3][4]

In 2006 Maraden was appointed to succeed Richard Monette in 2007 as an Artistic Director of the Stratford Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, Ontario. Unlike previous Artistic Directors at Stratford, Maraden was a member of a three person Artistic Team which includes co-directors Des McAnuff and Don Shipley, until creative differences forced the three to end their working relationship.[5]
