Marina is a Spanish-language telenovela that aired on United States-based television network Telemundo. It premièred on October 16, 2006. The final original episode aired on Thursday, June 28, 2007.

Sandra Echeverría, in her first major role, plays the title character. Aylín Mújica plays twin sisters, Laura and Verónica Saldivar. Mauricio Ochmann appears as Ricardo in early episodes before being replaced by Manolo Cardona.

Telemundo's slogan in English-language ads for the show was "The heat of Acapulco, the passion of a woman." As with most of its other soap operas, the network broadcast English subtitles as closed captions on CC3. Marina was produced by Argos Mexico.

During the show's last month, June 28, 2007, Marina's time slot (which included one soccer pre-emption and an encore of the finale) averaged 577,000 core adult viewers (ages 18 to 49), an 18 percent increase over the year before, when Tierra de Pasiones aired during that hour, according to Nielsen Media Research.

Set in Acapulco, this love story features Marina, a beautiful, sweet young woman who makes a living driving a tourist boat. Her simple life transforms when her mother dies unexpectedly and she inherits a large family fortune. Marina moves into an elegant mansion owned by the wealthy Alarcón Morales family, who treat her with evil, scorn and rejection.

This humble girl is abruptly immersed into a world of rich, superficial people, who live lives of luxury, intrigue and vengeance. She finds love with the man she least expects: Ricardo Alarcón, a handsome man.

Marina is a young, beautiful girl, neglected by her rich father who loses her mother and her house. Her uncle, who was madly in love with her mother and always took care of Marina from afar, promises her mother on her death bed that he will watch over Marina. When Marina moves to her uncle's mansion, she meets her future husband Ricardo, who currently is unhappily married to Adriana. Adriana is having an affair with many men, including Ricardo's best friend, Julio. She hates Marina because she notices that her husband is falling in love with her. Julio and Adriana plot to kill Marina, but all attempts fail; instead Julio is thought to be dead after he is caught kidnapping Marina and then throws himself off a cliff. Adriana is then asked to leave the mansion by Marina's uncle. Instead she tries to kill Ricardo, but when that fails, she runs out of the house and is killed in a horrible car accident. Before she dies, she confesses to Ricardo about all of the affairs she had and admits that the baby she was expecting was Julio's and not his. This news leaves Ricardo very insecure.
