Marsh Ridge is a rocky ridge in Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica . In the Queen Maud Mountains, it rises 18 km east-northeast of Mount Gould on the southern flank of the Leverett Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1960 to 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1967 after Robert D. Marsh, who in the Antarctic winter of 1957 as a cook on the Byrd- Station was active.
