Marvin Bracy (born December 15, 1993) is an American sprinter who lives and trains in Clermont, Florida. Also a former American football wide receiver for the Florida State Seminoles, Bracy left the Seminole football team just prior to their 2013 national championship season to pursue a professional career in track. He is also a competitive sprinter with personal bests of 9.93 s in the 100 m and 6.48 s in the 60 m. He has won three straight U.S. National Championships at 60 meters in 2014–16. In July 2016, Bracy came in third in the 100 metres at the U.S. Olympic Trials qualifying for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Bracy attended William R. Boone High School in Orlando, Florida, where he also played American football at the wide receiver position. In August 2010, the Orlando Sentinel ranked him as the No. 6 prospect from Central Florida in the class of 2012. By October 2010 he had received at least six scholarship offers, including from Florida State University and the University of Miami. In July 2011, Bracy committed to Florida State University for football and track.

Bracy participated in the 2012 Under Armour All-America Game. He made ESPN SportsCenter’s top 10 plays of the night with an acrobatic one-handed, 32-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter.
