Torquigener marleyi is a species of pufferfish in the family Tetraodontidae. It is a marine species known only from South Africa, where it occurs near the Tugela River in KwaZulu-Natal. However, its taxonomic validity is unclear: FishBase considers this species as a synonym of Torquigener balteus, whereas IUCN calls for more studies on its taxonomy.
