"Marie" is a 2002 song recorded by French singer Johnny Hallyday. It was the first single from his album À la vie, à la mort !, and was released in October 2002. Written and produced by Gérald De Palmas, it achieved a huge success in France, topping the singles chart and thus becoming Hallyday's second number-one hit on the modern French SNEP Singles Chart since its establishment in 1984.

The song was performed during Hallyday's 2003 and 2006 tours and was included on his albums Stars France 2003 and Flashback Tour - Palais des Sports 2006.

In France, the single went straight to #2 on 26 October 2002, being blocked for three weeks at this place by Las Ketchup's hit "Aserejé (The Ketchup Song)". It managed to top the chart for three weeks, alterning with Las Ketchup, and totaled 14 weeks in the top ten, 21 weeks in the top 50, and 28 weeks in the top 100.[1] Certified Diamond disc by the SNEP,[2] "Marie" became the ninth best-selling single of the 21st century in France, with 729,000 units sold.[3]
