Marmion is a northern coastal suburb of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia.

Prior to white settlement, the Whadjuk Aboriginal people, who called the area Mooro, gathered abalone and other shellfish in large numbers off the nearby reefs.

The area was popular with fishermen in the 1930s, and numerous boatsheds and shacks were built there, as well as a whaling station.

A townsite was gazetted in the area in 1940,[3] but it remained largely undeveloped until the late 1950s, when the postal district of Marmion was approved.

By 1961, the area west of Cliff Street was largely developed, and the Marmion Angling and Aquatic Club had been established.
