Marijan Mrmić (born 6 May 1965) is a retired Croatian football goalkeeper who is now a coach.

He started his career at Mladost Suhopolje in 1983 and moved to Dinamo Vinkovci in 1988. He left the club in 1993, when it was already renamed to Cibalia, and moved to Varteks Varaždin. In 1996, he left Varteks for Turkish club Beşiktaş Istanbul and spent two seasons there before eventually returning to Varaždin in 1998. By the end of his playing career, he also had a short spell with Belgian club Charleroi, but made only seven league appearances for the club and returned to Varteks, where he finished his playing career in 2000 and continued to work for the club as the first assistant coach as well as the goalkeeping coach. He also coaches the goalkeepers of the Croatian U-21 national team.

Between 1995 and 1999, Mrmić was the first reserve goalkeeper of the Croatian national team and managed to win a total of 14 international caps. He made his debut in June 1995 in a Euro 1996 qualifier against Ukraine and subsequently made one more appearance in the same qualifying session. He also made one appearance at the Euro 1996 finals in England as well as three appearances in the qualifying session for the 1998 World Cup. He was also a squad member at the final 1998 World Cup tournament in France, but spent all of the Croatian team's seven matches on the bench. He finished his international career in October 1999 after Croatia failed to qualify for the final Euro 2000 tournament. He made his last appearance for Croatia in a Euro 2000 qualifier against Malta in August 1999.
