Marnie McBean is a Canadian former rower and senator, born in 1968, who won three Olympic gold medals and with her partner Kathleen Heddle was the first Canadian to reach that total at the Summer Games. She won gold in both the coxless pair and the eight at Barcelona in 1992, then the double sculls gold and a quadruple sculls bronze at Atlanta in 1996, and took the Princess Royal Challenge Cup at Henley in 1994 and silver in the single scull at the 1993 World Championships. A back injury forced her out of the Sydney Games and into retirement. She became a member of the Senate of Canada in 2023 and has served as chef de mission of the Canadian team.
