The marshal is a character class in the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition that was introduced in the Miniatures Handbook.

The marshal is a military commander whose abilities are focused on leading others into battle and inspiring them to victory. As they progress in levels, marshals gain the ability to project minor and major "auras" that grant a variety of bonuses to nearby allies. Charisma is the marshal's most important ability, as it enhances the effectiveness of his minor auras and is the key ability for several of the marshal's class skills, in particular Diplomacy. The marshal also has the ability to grant nearby allies bonus move actions. Although a military-style class that is proficient with most weapons and armor, the marshal himself is not as good at combat as a fighter: the marshal has the same hit die, saving throws, and attack bonus progression as a cleric.

No currently published race has marshal as its favored class.
