Marsal (French pronunciation: [maʁsal]; German: Salzmar) is a commune in the Moselle department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.

The word Marosallum is a combination of two terms, one Gallic (maro) and the other Latin (sallum), which together mean approximately the Great Saltworks.

The town seems to have continued to derive its wealth from the salt works, as evidenced by the presence of a "place à sel" reported in 682 or 683.

Bishop Jacques de Lorraine and a number of priests and gentlemen who accompanied him were unable, despite several days of observation, to discover who was feeding her.
