Chief Marin (born about 1781, died March 15, 1839) was the "great chief of the tribe Licatiut" (a branch of Coast Miwok native to present-day Marin County, California), according to General Vallejo's semi-historical report to the first California State Legislature in 1850. Historical records indicate that he was baptized as a young man at Mission San Francisco de Asís in 1801 and eventually moved to Mission San Rafael Arcángel, where he was an alcalde in the 1820s.

- Chief Marin (born about 1781, died March 15, 1839) was the "great chief of the tribe Licatiut" (a branch of Coast Miwok native to present-day Marin County, California), according to General Vallejo's semi-historical report to the first California State Legislature in 1850. Historical records indicate that he was baptized as a young man at Mission San Francisco de Asís in 1801 and eventually moved to Mission San Rafael Arcángel, where he was an alcalde in the 1820s. Marin died on March 15, 1839 of natural causes. Marin County and the Marin Islands are believed to be named in his honor. Marin first appears in the historical record on March 7, 1801, when he was baptized as Marino at Mission San Francisco de Asís, along with his wife, Marina Mottique. The couple were married in the Catholic Church on the same day. At the time Father Uria wrote in the baptismal register that Marin was twenty years old, that his native name was Huicmuse and that he came from the Huimen local tribe. The identities of his parents were not provided, typical of Franciscan baptismal entries for adult Indians. In subsequent mission records, where he appeared as a godparent, a parent (once, a son died at birth), and also as a widower in the death records of three successive wives, his name was spelled variously Marin or Marino. Late nineteenth century historians Alexander Taylor and Hubert Howe Bancroft repeated unsubstantiated stories to the effect that Marin and some other chiefs were light-skinned, intelligent, and leaders because they were descendants of a Spaniard from a shipwrecked galleon. Goerke, who has recently brought together the factual and mythic details of Marin's life, states, "Assumptions that such a lineage made them qualified to be leaders were examples of nineteenth-century racism and ethnocentrism."
