Marshall Hawkins (born July 14, 1939) is a jazz musician and teacher. A multi-instrumentalist, although best known as a bassist, he also plays piano, organ and drums.[1]

Hawkins grew up in Washington DC.[2] He is possibly best known for being one of several bassists who took over from Ron Carter when the latter left Miles Davis' so-called Second Great Quintet.[3] He later taught at the Idyllwild School of Music and the Arts.[2]
