The Venerable Fitzherbert Adams Marriott (27 May 1811 – 19 October 1890)[1] was an English clergyman, the first Archdeacon of Hobart Town in Tasmania.[2]

Marriott was born in the St Giles area of London and educated at Oriel College, Oxford.[3] He was Rector of Cotesbach before travelling to Tasmania. He arrived there in 1843 with Francis Russell Nixon, the first Bishop of Tasmania, on board the Duke of Roxburgh. Marriott was a close friend and supporter of the Bishop in his battles for supremacy with the Governor Sir John Eardley-Wilmot. Marriott married Anne Schaw on 26 September 1848.[4]
