La prison Marshalsea est une prison aujourd'hui disparue située sur la rive Sud de la Tamise, dans le quartier de Southwark, à Londres, en Angleterre. De 1329 à sa fermeture en 1842 y étaient envoyés différents types de condamnés, dont des condamnés pour acte sexuel déviant, des personnalités politiques et intellectuelles accusées d'incitation à la rebellion, et des débiteurs, certains parfois célèbres, la durée de leur peine étant en grande partie influencée par les caprices de leur créanciers.
