The Royal Marine Brigade and subsequent Royal Marine Division were amphibious warfare formations created by the British Royal Marines at the start of the Second World War.

The composition of both formations was almost constantly in flux, with neither ever achieving their full establishment. Though neither saw action, they both played important roles in the development of amphibious warfare techniques and their constituent units went on to play important roles in the largest amphibious operation in history, Operation Neptune.
