Norman Edgar Marshall (February 27, 1924 - August 11, 2007) was a West Indian cricketer. He was born in the Welchman Hall Plantation, Saint Thomas, Barbados and played in a Test match against Australia in 1955. His brother Roy also played Test cricket for the West Indies and scored over 30000 first class runs.
Marshall was an allrounder who bowled offspin and played in the middle order as an attacking right handed batsman. He played most of his first class cricket for Barbados but appeared for Trinidad four times while he was working there in 1954 and 1955.
Norman played regionally for the Wanderers Club in Barbados and spent some time playing cricket in Peru and Venezuela prior to commencing his professional cricketing career.[2]
