Dudley Marvin (May 9, 1786 – June 25, 1852) was an American politician and attorney from New York. He served as a U.S. Representative for four two-year terms, 1823 to 1829 and 1847 to 1849.
A native of Lyme, Connecticut, Marvin attended Connecticut's Colchester Academy, then moved to Canandaigua, New York. He studied law from 1807 to 1811, was admitted to the bar, and began to practice in Erie, Pennsylvania. He soon returned to Canandaigua, where he continued to practice law. Marvin joined the New York Militia in 1812, and was promoted through the ranks to major general.
In 1822, Marvin was elected to the U.S. House as an Adams-Clay Republican, and he was reelected in 1824 and 1826 as an Adams Republican. Marvin served in the 18th, 19th, and 20th Congresses, March 4, 1823 to March 3, 1829. After leaving Congress, Marvin practiced law and invented several farm machines and implements, for which he obtained patents. He lived in Maryland and Virginia, then moved to New York City in 1836 and Brooklyn in 1837. In 1843, he moved to Ripley, New York. In 1846, Marvin was again elected to the U.S. House, this time as a Whig. He served in the 30th Congress, March 4, 1847 to March 3, 1849. After leaving Congress, he resumed practicing law in Ripley, where he died on June 25, 1852. Marvin was interred at East Ripley Cemetery in Ripley.
