Marian Price (born 1954), also known by her married name as Marian McGlinchey, is a former Provisional Irish Republican Army (Provisional IRA) volunteer.

Born into a Republican family in Belfast, Price joined the Provisional IRA in 1971, along with her sister Dolours Price. They both participated in the 1973 Old Bailey bombing, for which Marian Price was sentenced to two life terms. The sisters carried out a prolonged hunger strike at the start of their sentence. Marian Price was freed in 1980 on a Royal prerogative of mercy when anorexia nervosa, resulting from being force-fed on her hunger strike, was deemed to put her life at risk.

After her release she withdrew from public life, but in the 1990s she became a vocal opponent of Sinn Féin's "peace strategy."

In 2009 she was arrested in connection with the Massereene Barracks shooting. She was charged with providing property for the purposes of terrorism in 2011 and released in 2013.
