Marshfield (Welsh: Maerun) is both an electoral ward (population 4,245 in 2001, increasing to 6,270 at the 2011 UK census) and a smaller village community (parish) in the southwest of the City of Newport in Wales. The area is governed by the Newport City Council.

The ward is bounded by the city boundary to the west, the Bristol Channel to the south, the mouth of the River Usk to the east, Graig Ward to the north, and the Pillgwenlly, Tredegar Park and Gaer wards to the northeast. The M4 motorway runs through the ward.

The ward contains the parishes of Coedkernew, Michaelstone y Fedw and Wentloog, as well as the parish of Marshfield (population 2,636) itself.
