Marbles Reunited is a British, membership-based campaign organisation with offices in central London. We co-ordinate a campaign of activities to promote the case for the reunification of the Parthenon sculptures currently housed in the British Museum, and commonly known as the 'Elgin marbles', with the remaining surviving sculptures in Athens, Greece.

This campaign is based on the belief that the Parthenon sculptures are best seen and studied as a single archaeological collection in sight of the 5th Century monument they were once an integral part of, namely the Parthenon.

Such a location exists, in the form of the New Acropolis Museum, which opened in 2009.
