Vipsania Marcella Agrippina or Marcellina (born 27 BC) was the only daughter to Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa from his second wife Claudia Marcella Major. She was the first grandchild to Octavia Minor and first great-niece to Roman Emperor Augustus.

About 14 BC, she married the Roman general and politician Publius Quinctilius Varus. Little is known about this marriage and whether they had any children.

Tacitus hints that she did not die in childbirth or of natural causes. He states that Agrippa's children were either killed in battle, starved to death or poisoned. However, this may have just applied to Agrippa's children by Julia the Elder, Augustus' daughter. Tacitus makes no specific comment on Vipsania Marcella Agrippina. The date of her death is uncertain.

In Robert Graves books, I, Claudius and Claudius the God, Roman Empress Livia Drusilla charged her with incest with her late father and she committed suicide.
