Marlene Needham is a former Jamaican cricketer who represented the West Indies women's cricket team between 1993 and 1997. She played as a right-handed opening batsman.

Needham made her debut for the West Indies at the 1993 World Cup in England.[1] She appeared in five of her team's seven matches, but scored only 26 runs.[2] Needham was retained in the West Indian squad for the 1997 World Cup in India, but again struggled for form, making only 14 runs in four matches.[1] Against Denmark, she made the highest score of her One Day International (ODI) career – nine runs from 18 balls.[3] Despite finishing with an ODI career batting average of just 4.44, Needham was dismissed for a duck only once, against New Zealand at the 1997 World Cup.[4]
