Marilyn McAdams Sibley (September 30, 1921 –January 19, 2006) was an historian and author who was the president of the Texas State Historical Association from 1981 to 1982.
Sibley was born in Walker County in east Texas to Horace McAdams and his wife, Nevada McAdams (1894–1969). On June 24, 1944, she married J. Dale Sibley at the First Baptist Church of Huntsville, the county seat of Walker County. In her later years, she was again a member of the same congregation.
She received her bachelor's degree from Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, her master's degree from the University of Houston, and a Ph.D. from Rice University in Houston. She served as professor and chairman of the history department at Houston Baptist University and was briefly a visiting professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin.
Among Sibley's eight books are Travelers in Texas, 1761-1860 (1967), The Port of Houston: A History (1968), Samuel H. Walker's Account of the Mier Expeditions (1978), The Methodist Hospital in Houston: Serving the World (1990), and Lone Stars and State Gazettes: Texas Newspapers Before the Civil War (2000). She also penned several articles in the Journal of Southern History and Southwestern Historical Quarterly.
