Robert Henry Bullock Marsham (3 September 1833 – 5 April 1913) was an English cricketer, who made appearances for Oxford University and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).

Primarily a bowler, Marsham took 35 wickets with his slow-medium roundarm deliveries.[1] His greatest achievement was to bowl MCC to victory against a much stronger Surrey side in 1859, where he took twelve wickets in the match.[2][3] He made many appearances for I Zingari, and also turned out for England against Kent in 1860.[2]

A magistrate in his later years, Marsham died in Canterbury in 1913.
