Victor Robert Marriott (born 29 January 1938) is an English former international rugby union player.

Marriott, born in Battersea, played his club rugby for Harlequins and was a regular Surrey representative player.[1]

A mobile and speedy back-rower, Marriott made the England squad for their 1963 tour of Australasia and played all three Test matches, debuting against the All Blacks at Eden Park.[2] His other appearances were against the All Blacks at Lancaster Park and in the one-off Test against the Wallabies at the Sydney Sports Ground. He was capped a fourth time the following year when the All Blacks came to Twickenham.[3]
