Marius is a 1929 play by the French writer Marcel Pagnol. It takes place in Marseille, where a young man named Marius working in a café dreams of going to sea, his obsession eventually overcoming his developing romance with Fanny, a local girl who is his childhood friend.

In 1930 an American adaptation by Sidney Howard, Marseilles, was staged on Broadway. One year later a British version Sea Fever by John Van Druten was staged unsuccessfully in the West End. The same year Pagnol wrote a sequel, Fanny.
