Marcel Lussier (born June 30, 1944) is a Canadian politician and the former Member of Parliament for the riding of Brossard—La Prairie. Lussier was born in Saint-Damase, Quebec.

Lussier was an unsuccessful candidate for the Parti Québécois in La Pinière in the 2003 Quebec election. He ran for office as a member of the Bloc Québécois in the 2004 federal election, but was defeated by Jacques Saada. In the 2006 election he ran again, defeating Saada by approximately two per cent of the vote.[http://www.cbc.ca/canadavotes/riding/045/ 2006 election results from the CBC] He served as the party's critic for Environment.

Prior to being elected, he had worked as an engineer. In 1968 he earned a Master of Science degree in health engineering from École Polytechnique, and then went on to earn a bachelor's degree in applied science for civil engineering in 1970 from Université de Sherbrooke. He worked at Hydro-Québec for 22 years as an environmental engineering specialist.

He was initially declared re-elected in the 2008 election, but a judicial recount later declared that he had been defeated by Alexandra Mendès of the Liberals.{{cite web|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/liberals-win-seat-in-quebec-following-recount/article20389176/|title=Liberals win seat in Quebec following recount|work=The Globe and Mail|date=October 24, 2008|access-date=July 22, 2023}} In the 2011 election he lost again, to Hoang Mai of the NDP.
