Marshall J. Gauvin (1881–1978) was a notable author and speaker in the Freethought movement.

He was, along with such notables as Thomas Edison, Clarence Darrow, Mark Twain, Robert Ingersoll, Joseph McCabe, H. L. Mencken, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Margaret Sanger, a contributor to Truth Seeker, a publication devoted to Freethought.[1]
