"Marcella" is a song written by Brian Wilson, Tandyn Almer and Jack Rieley for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1972 album Carl and the Passions - "So Tough". It is the last song to feature Bruce Johnston during his original tenure in the band.
The tune was named for a woman who was working as Brian Wilson's masseuse at the time. Wilson has said that musically, he was trying to capture the essence of the Rolling Stones, without eliminating the well-known Beach Boys sound.
