Carole Frances Marple (born 24 December 1941) is a former Australian politician. She was the Labor member for Altona in the Victorian Legislative Assembly from 1992 to 1996.

Marple was born in Melbourne and educated at Brighton, becoming a primary teacher specialising in helping children with learning difficulties. A member of the Australian Labor Party, she ran as a candidate for several federal elections, contesting the safe Coalition seat of Indi in 1980 and 1983 and running in the unwinnable fourth position on the Victorian Labor Senate ticket in 1984 and 1990. From 1987–90 she was chairperson of the party's Rural Policy Committee, and chairperson of the Conservation Policy Committee 1986–92.^[1]

In 1992, Marple was elected to the Victorian Legislative Assembly as the Labor member for Altona. She was Shadow Minister for Natural Resources (1992–93) and Agriculture and Rural Affairs (1993–96).
