Margie Harrison is an American actress and model.

Strictly speaking, Margie Harrison was both Playboy's first centerfold as well as Playmate of the Month. Marilyn Monroe preceded her as a Playboy "Sweetheart of the Month" and did not appear in the centre pages, rather she appeared on pages 16 to 18. Harrison is the first official Playmate of the Month, having first appeared in the magazine in its January 1954 issue. Like Monroe, her photo was purchased from the John Baumgarth Company, which specialized in pin-up calendars. Harrison returned as a Playmate in the June 1954 issue. According to The Playmate Book, Harrison also appeared in the men's magazines Follies and Gala.

Prior to September 1959, playmates were not asked to complete data sheets.
