Marshall David Sahlins (27 Desember 1930 – 5 April 2021) adalah antropolog Amerika Serikat yang menjadi profesor emeritus di University of Chicago.^[1]

Ia mendapatkan gelar Bachelor dan Master dari University of Michigan tempat ia kuliah bersama Leslie White, dan mendapatkan gelar Ph.D. dari Columbia University pada tahun 1954. Tokoh-tokoh yang memengaruhi pemikiran utamanya adalah Karl Polanyi dan Julian Steward. Ia kemudian mengajar di University of Michigan dan aktif di dunia politik pada tahun 1960-an. Ia pernah berunjuk rasa menentang Perang Vietnam dan, menurut Napoleon Chagnon, mulai mengeluarkan mahasiswa yang tidak mau berunjuk rasa dari program perkuliahan.^[2] Pada tahun 1968, ia menandatangani “Writers and Editors War Tax Protest” dan berjanji untuk menolak pembayaran pajak sebagai bentuk protes terhadap Perang Vietnam.^[3] Pada akhir 1960-an, ia mulai menetap selama dua tahun di Paris, menikmati gaya hidup intelektual Prancis, termasuk karya Claude Lévi-Strauss, serta terlibat dalam protes mahasiswa bulan Mei 1968. Tahun 1973, ia pindah ke University of Chicago dan saat ini merupakan Charles F. Grey Distinguished Service Professor of Anthropology Emeritus. Kakaknya, Bernard Sahlins (1922–2013), adalah penulis dan pelawak.
