Marcus Mosiah Garvey ONHJ foi um comunicador, empresário e ativista jamaicano.
É considerado um dos maiores ativistas da história do movimento nacionalista negro. Garvey liderou o movimento mais amplo de descendentes africanos até então; é lembrado por alguns como o principal idealista do movimento de "volta para a África", de profunda inspiração para que os negros tivessem a "redenção" da África, e que as potências coloniais europeias desocupassem o continente. Em suas próprias palavras, "Eu não tenho nenhum desejo de levar todas as pessoas negras de volta para a África, há negros que não são bons elementos aqui e provavelmente não o serão lá."
Apesar de ter sido criado como metodista, Marcus Garvey se declarava católico.
