Marquis Industrial is an industrial park located in the North Industrial SDA Suburban Development Area of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

In 2005 land was annexed for Akzo (Marquis Industrial).[1] The Marquis Industrial subdivision is along two major trucking routes.

Commercial and industrial enterprises along both sides of 71st Street are the northern perimeter of the industrial park.
