Marie Louise Boulton (born March 1967) is a British politician who has served as a councillor in Aberdeen, Scotland since 2007. Elected as Aberdeen City Council’s first independent councillor, Marie Boulton has represented Aberdeen's Lower Deeside Ward since 2007. She served her first term in opposition before becoming Deputy Leader of Aberdeen City Council upon her re-election in 2012, forming a coalition with Labour and the Conservatives. She held this post until 2017. Following the 2017 Local Elections she became Masterplan Spokesperson as part of the Labour, Conservative and Independent Administration and was Convenor of both the Licensing Board and Capital Programme Committee.
