Marshland is a semi-rural suburb on the northern side of Christchurch city. The land is primarily used for horticulture and dairy farming.
The suburb is named for the peaty soil, and was also called Rhodes' Swamp after landowner and politician Robert Heaton Rhodes (1815–1884).
State Highway 74 forms the western and southern boundary of the suburb. The Styx River runs northeast through Marshland.
