Marion Road is a north–south conduit through the western suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. It forms part of State Route number A14.

Where it terminates in Bedford Park, southwest of Adelaide's centre, Marion Road feeds into the Southern Expressway near the northern starting point of that road. This is also the southern end of State route number A14.

At its northern end, Marion Road terminates at Henley Beach Road. Route A14 continues west on Henley Beach Road for about 250 metres; north along the entire length of ; at Grange Road it take a 50-metre dog leg to the east; and then A14 continues north along the entire length of until it terminates at Port Road.

The Glenelg tram line has a level crossing in Plympton between Anzac Highway and Cross Road. The crossing in close proximity to two major intersections sometimes causes congestion during peak times. Just south of Daws Road/Oaklands Road, the Seaford railway line has an overpass over Marion Road.

The road name is based on its traversal through the suburb (Marion) and the City of Marion.
