Fred Shipley Marsh (1886–1953) was an English clergyman and theologian, Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge from 1935 to 1951.
Educated at Cambridge in 1907, Marsh was elected a Tyrwhitt Scholar, and much of his subsequent work was in the field of Syriac studies.
[1] From 1916 to 1919, during the First World War, Marsh served as a chaplain in the armed forces and was gassed, causing harm which continued to trouble him for the rest of his life.
[2] In 1935 he was appointed to succeed James Bethune-Baker as Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity and moved away from the Syriac field.
