Marion Loretta Reid CM OPEI (née Doyle; January 4, 1929 – June 22, 2023) was a Canadian politician who was the first female Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island, and the 24th as well as first female Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island.

Born in North Rustico, Prince Edward Island, the daughter of Michael Doyle and Loretta Whelan, she was first elected in 1979 to the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island as the Prince Edward Island Progressive Conservative Party candidate in the district of 1st Queens. She was re-elected in 1982 and 1986. She was Deputy Speaker, Speaker and Opposition House Leader. She was Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island from 1990 to 1995.

In 1994, the PEI Council of the Girl Guides of Canada created an award in her name in recognition of her contributions.[1] In 1996, she was awarded the Order of Prince Edward Island and was made a Member of the Order of Canada.

Reid died at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown on June 22, 2023, at the age of 94.[2] Upon her death, Premier Dennis King said she broke many barriers and greatly contributed to the province, as well as being part of PEI's Famous Five in 1993, when the top five legislative positions in a province were held by women for the first time in Canadian history.[3] [4]
