"Marjorie" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her ninth studio album, Evermore (2020). She wrote the track with its producer, Aaron Dessner. A tribute to Swift's maternal grandmother, the opera singer Marjorie Finlay, the song features bits of advice that Finlay offered to Swift and touches on her guilt over not knowing Finlay to the fullest. "Marjorie" is a sentimental ballad that incorporates electronic keyboard arrangement, pizzicato strings, and samples of Finlay's soprano vocals.
Music critics praised "Marjorie" for its production and intimate nature, considering it a highlight from Evermore and one of the best songs in Swift's discography. Commercially, the track peaked at number 66 on the Billboard Global 200 and reached the national charts of Australia, Canada, and the United States. "Marjorie" was certified platinum in Australia, gold in New Zealand and Brazil, and silver in the United Kingdom. Swift included the track on the set list of the Eras Tour (2023–2024).
