Marshall Ford is a small unincorporated community in Travis County, Texas, United States.

For many years, the agricultural and ranching regions in the western section of the county were connected to Austin by the original ford or low-water crossing of the Colorado River; the trading station and supply point in the bend of the river later became the market for cedar posts and timber.

The Lower Colorado River Authority took control of the region in 1934, and Mansfield Dam, the main flood-control facility in a network of dams in the Colorado basin, was erected.

Jack S. Beauchamp served as the first postmaster when a post office was established in Marshall Ford.
