Arthur Jules Marion (November 19, 1884 - April 5, 1941) was a Métis politician and businessman. He was first elected as a Liberal MLA in the district of Île-à-la-Crosse in a by-election held in April 1926 after incumbent Joseph Octave Nolin died in office in December 1925. Marion would later be re-elected in the then-recently redrawn district of Athabasca in 1938. Notably, he had been earlier defeated in 1934 by Deakin Alexander Hall, who was also running Liberal.
In July 1941, a by-election was held to fill to the seat left vacant by Marion's own death in office in April 1941. Liberal Hubert Staines was elected to replace him.[1] Marion's son Louis Marcien Marion successfully ran in the next Saskatchewan general election, and served as MLA in Athabasca from 1944 to 1952.
Marion was the brother-in-law of federal Liberal Senator William Albert Boucher.[2]
