Marron Valley is an inhabited locality and former post office in the South Okanagan region of the Southern Interior of British Columbia, Canada, located to the west of Skaha Lake.^[1]

Named in association with the Marron River, a post office was first opened in 1909 as Marron Lake.^[2] The post office was re-designated Marron Valley in 1924.
