John Marshall Park is an urban park space in Washington, D.C.'s Judiciary Square neighborhood, located directly north of the National Mall's National Gallery of Art facility.

The park is named in honor of former United States Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, who served the nation's highest court between 1801 and 1835. A sculpture along the park's northern end depicts the justice playing chess, commissioned by artist William Wetmore Story in 1883 and serving as a cast of Story's original sculpture, which adorns the interior of the Supreme Court building. Another sculpture, The Chess Players, is located along the park's eastern side.
