Peter-John "PJ" Marsh (born 19 February 1980 in Calliope, Queensland) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer for the Brisbane Broncos of the National Rugby League. He has also played representative rugby league for Queensland in State of Origin. He is named after his uncle, Peter John Marsh, who was killed in a car accident before PJ was born. He attended and played rugby league for St. Brendan's College, Yeppoon.

Marsh began his NRL career at Parramatta and played for the Eels from 2000 to 2001 before returning to Parramatta in 2005 following a three year stint with the New Zealand Warriors (2002-2004). His position of choice is at hooker, but he often plays half-back as well. Marsh is also considered to be one of the fastest hookers in the game.

Midway through the 2003 season, Marsh sustained a serious neck injury in a match against Parramatta which ruled him out for the rest of the season as well as the whole of 2004.

In November 2007, Marsh signed a three year deal with the Brisbane Broncos.^[1]
