Marilyn Denis (born July 1, 1936) is a Canadian television and radio personality. Born in Edmonton, Alberta, she grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and received a bachelors degree in Radio, TV and Advertising from the University of Idaho.

She began her broadcasting career at a local radio station in Moscow, Idaho, and later moved to Calgary, Alberta where she worked at CJAY-FM and CHFM. In addition, she was a sports and entertainment reporter and weather announcer at CFCN-TV and TSN.

In June 1986, Denis became one of the co-hosts of CHUM-FM's Roger, Rick and Marilyn morning show. She also hosts the daytime talk show CityLine on Citytv and A-Channel.

In 2005 and 2006 she won the Viewer's Choice Award at the Gemini Awards.

In 2007, she won the Gemini for Best Host in a Lifestyle/Information series for CityLine.

With the CTVglobemedia purchase of CHUM Limited, and the subsequent sale of five Citytv stations to Rogers Media mandated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, Denis temporarily found herself working for two separate media competitors.

To resolve this situation, Denis has announced that she will be leaving the Citytv CityLine program after 19 years to pursue current and future projects with the CTV network. Denis hosted her last show on Friday, May 23, 2008.
