Nurse Marjorie is a 1920 American silent drama film directed by William Desmond Taylor and starring Mary Miles Minter. Based on a 1906 play, Nurse Marjorie, by Israel Zangwill, with a scenario by Julia Crawford Ivers, it is one of approximately a dozen of Minter's films know to survive today, and one of even fewer readily available for the general public to view.
