Marco Ferraro (1955 in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec – August 31, 2017 in Montreal) was a Canadian curler, broadcaster and inventor from Boucherville, Quebec. Ferraro grew up in Maple Grove, Quebec where he learned how to curl. After graduating from McGill University, he would later join the Lachine based rink, throwing second stones. The team won the 1988 Quebec men's curling championship, earning them the right to represent the province at the 1988 Labatt Brier, Canada's national men's curling championship on home ice in Chicoutimi, Quebec. At the Brier, the team would finish with a 4-7 record, missing the playoffs. As it happened, Ferraro was the only French speaking curler in the tournament, and was invited by RDS to commentate games in that language. He worked for that network until 2009.
