Rudolph "Rudy" Arthur Marcus (born July 21, 1923) is an American chemist who received the 1992 Nobel Prize in Chemistry1 for his theory of electron transfer. Marcus theory, named after him, provides a thermodynamic and kinetic framework for describing one electron outer-sphere electron transfer.

He was born in Montreal, Quebec. He earned a B.Sc. in 1943 and a Ph.D. in 1946, both from McGill University. In 1958, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States. He is an active professor at Caltech. He is a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science.
