Charles Clagett Marbury (1898 – July 19, 1991) was an American politician and judge, who served as a justice of the Maryland Court of Appeals from 1960 to 1969.[3]

Marbury was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 1931 and served until he was elected to the state Senate in 1941.[1] A short while later, he was appointed to serve as a Circuit Court judge, and later, to one of two newly-created seats on the Court of Appeals.[1]

He was born in Upper Marlboro, Maryland and attended the Emerson Preparatory School in Washington, D.C.[2] and received a degree from the Johns Hopkins University in 1922.[1] Part of his studies were conducted at the University of Bordeaux where he remained after serving in the field artillery of the 29th Division in World War I.[1]

He studied law at the University of Maryland School of Law and eventually graduated from Georgetown University law school in 1925.[1]

He was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church, the Society of the Cincinnati and the Southern Maryland Society, which awarded him its Distinguished Member Award in 1989.[1]

He died on July 19, 1991.[2]
