Marrickville is a suburb in Marrickville Council, in the inner west of Sydney, Australia. The name was suggested by Thomas Chalder, an early resident, after the village of Marrick in Yorkshire, England. "Ville" was suggested by William Dean.

It has a station on the Bankstown line of CityRail and lies under the flight path to Sydney airport.

In the mid-twentieth century, Marrickville was a major centre of Sydney's large Greek community, and to an extent remains so. Greek flags are frequently flown down Marrickville's main commercial street, which still boasts many Greek-owned business.

Today, the the Vietnamese community has become perhaps equally prominent, centred in the area closer to the railway station.
