Marion Grierson is a Scottish documentary filmmaker.

Biography
Born in Stirling in 1900, Marion was the sister of John and Ruby Grierson. She was married to documentary filmmaker Donald Taylor.

Career
After leaving Scotland, Marion worked as a reporter in the UK and Canada before finally returning to London where her brother John taught her to edit film. She went on to work for the Empire Marketing Board (EMB) Film Unit where she begun her first professional job as an editor. Attached to the EMB was the Travel and Industrial Development Association (TIDA) which Marion ran, and for whom she shot, directed and produced observational documentaries for. In 1935 Marion became head of government organisation, the Associated Realist Film Producers.

It has been suggested that one of the reasons Marion's work is less well known than her brother's, is because her work was screened more frequently outside the UK.

She left TIDA in 1936 to become editor of World Film News.
