Oliver T. Marsh (January 30, 1892, Kansas City, Missouri, United States – May 5, 1941, Hollywood, California, United States) was a prolific Hollywood cinematographer.

The pair were also nominated for Best Cinematography (Color) for Bitter Sweet (1940).[3]
Marsh died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage. He is interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.[4]
He is the brother of actresses Marguerite Marsh (1888–1925) and Mae Marsh (1894–1968) and the father of jazz saxophonist Warne Marsh (1927–1987).
