Marc Ferland (born 15 April 1942 in Quebec City, Quebec) was a Progressive Conservative member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was an industrial designer and project coordinator by career.

Ferland's post-secondary education was at the Commercial and Industrial institute of Quebec.[1] In politics, he represented the Quebec riding of Portneuf where he was first elected in the 1984 federal election and re-elected in 1988, therefore becoming a member in the 33rd and 34th Canadian Parliaments.

Ferland left federal politics when he was defeated in the 1993 federal election by Pierre de Savoye of the Bloc Québécois.
