Marlon Motlop is a Larrakia Australian rules footballer who played with the Port Adelaide Football Club in the AFL. He currently plays with North Adelaide Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).

Originally from Wanderers Football Club in the (Northern Territory Football League (NTFL), Motlop is the cousin of Daniel, Shannon and Steven Motlop, and first gained the attention of AFL talent scouts when he won the Allan McLean best-and-fairest medal for the 2006 Division Two NAB AFL Under 16 Championships. Motlop was selected by Port Adelaide in the 2007 AFL Draft using their second pick, the 28th overall.

Motlop debuted against Melbourne Football Club in round 21 of the 2008 AFL season, contributing six kicks and eight handballs to his team's 78-point win. The following week Motlop kicked his first AFL goal and collected 16 disposals in a 76-point victory over North Melbourne Football Club. He did not play another game in 2008, but returned in round 9 of the 2009 AFL season where he had a quiet game, registering four kicks and two handballs in a 55-point loss to the Sydney Swans. Round 11 saw Motlop kick 1 goal and collect 12 kicks and three handballs in a 24-point win over the Fremantle Dockers. In what turned out to be his final AFL match, Motlop did not score in his match against the Western Bulldogs, but did get 16 disposals.
