Marjorie Bailey (née Turner; born 21 November 1947) is a Canadian sprinter.

At the 1976 Summer Olympics she competed in the women's 100 metres and 200 metres. She made the semi-final round in both events. She ran the anchor leg of the 4 x 100 metre relay, which placed fourth and set a Canadian and Commonwealth record of 43.17.[1]

At the 1978 Commonwealth Games she won a silver medal in the 4 x 100 metres relay.

She won a bronze medal in the 100 metres and 4 x 100 metres relay at the 1975 Pan American Games, and finished fourth in the 200 metres.[1]

She finished fourth in the 200 metres, and sixth in the 100 metres at the 1974 British Commonwealth Games.

She was a descendant of black Loyalists (escaped slaves and freed men and women of African origin who, in the 1780s, fled to Canada from America).[2]
