John Senator Marvin (July 11, 1897 – December 10, 1944) was an early American recording artist and musician, starting in 1924 and covering a twenty-year period for many record labels.

Johnny Marvin was one of the great crooners of the 1920s, and his ukulele accompaniment was unsurpassed. In the decade when the ukulele was enjoying its greatest popularity, Marvin was one of the premiere ukulele performers. Although his name is not as recognized today as a few other 1920s ukulele artists, in his day he was a well-known radio personality and recording artist. Marvin made dozens of records both under his own name and as “Honey Duke and his Uke” and “The Ukulele Ace”. Many of these records document his talented strumming patterns, vocal jazz effects that imitate other instruments, and his smooth crooning.
