Tyrone Marshall (born November 12, 1974 in Kingston, Jamaica) is a Jamaican soccer player, who currently plays center back for the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer.

Marshall was drafted by the Colorado Rapids out of Florida International University with the 11th overall pick of the 1998 MLS College Draft. He played only a game in Colorado, being dealt to the Miami Fusion midway through the season. Marshall would spend the next three and a half seasons in Miami, starting as a forward and drifting to the midfield and then the defense as time passed.

After the Fusion folded, Marshall was picked up by the Galaxy with the ninth pick of the 2002 MLS Allocation Draft. He has been with LA since, helping them to the 2002 MLS Cup. In 2005, he was named to the MLS Best XI. In seven years in MLS, Marshall scored 12 goals and added 17 assists. He is also a regular with the Jamaican national team.
