Marci Lipman (born 1948) is a Canadian graphic artist and owner of a defunct chain of speciality clothing stores in Toronto.

Lipman started and continues to a be a graphics designer in Toronto with her sister Louise Lipman (born 1953). During the 1980s and 1990s, Lipman operated a chain of stores selling children's and adult T-shirts with cartoon-like characters. These stores initially did well, but the concept failed to hold and the remaining stores closed in the late 1990s.

She subsequently was an investor in Via Verde, a Toronto store for indoor-outdoor container gardening.

Louise Lipman left Toronto in the 1980s to open a gallery in Los Angeles and has since returned to operate the Louise Lipman Contemporary Art gallery with her sister Marci.

The two sisters are authors of a series of book on Canadian art published in the 1980s by Lester & Orpen Dennys of Toronto.
