Marshall William Faulk (born February 26, 1973) is an American former professional football running back who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 12 seasons and is the current running backs coach at the University of Colorado. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest running backs of all time.

Faulk played college football for the San Diego State Aztecs, with whom he was a two-time unanimous All-American. He was selected by the Colts as the second overall pick in the 1994 NFL draft; he was with the Colts for five seasons and played the last eight seasons of his career with the Rams. Faulk was a member of the Greatest Show on Turf, a name given to the St. Louis Rams team that appeared in two Super Bowls and won Super Bowl XXXIV. He won a record three AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year awards, tying Earl Campbell as the only players to receive the honor in three straight seasons. He was also named the NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the 2000 season.

Faulk is one of only three NFL players to reach at least 10,000 rushing yards and 5,000 receiving yards and the only one to amass 12,000 yards rushing and 6,000 yards receiving. He was also an analyst for various programs on NFL Network until December 2017. He was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 2017.
