George Carlyle Marler (September 14 1901 - April 10 1981) served as Liberal leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly of Quebec from 1948 to 1953, after Liberal leader Adélard Godbout lost the 1948 Quebec election and also narrowly lost his own seat.
Godbout resigned as Liberal leader in 1950 and was replaced by Georges-Émile Lapalme, who had just resigned his seat in the House of Commons to enter provincial politics and be acclaimed Liberal leader. Lapalme failed to win his seat in the 1952 election, but won a by-election on July 9, 1953, at which point he became leader of the Opposition in place of Marler.
