Stanley "Stan" Marsh is a central character in the animated television series South Park. He serves as the show's everyman, often acting as a moral compass within the town's absurd events.

Stan resides in the fictional town of South Park, Colorado, with his parents, Randy and Sharon Marsh, and his older sister, Shelly. He is best friends with Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormick. The dynamic between the boys, particularly Stan's contrasting viewpoints with Cartman's self-centeredness, fuels much of the show's humor and social commentary.

Voiced primarily by co-creator Trey Parker, Stan often expresses disbelief and frustration at the bizarre occurrences in South Park. He is characterized as more reasonable and empathetic than his peers, frequently attempting to apply logic and morality to illogical situations.

Recurring storylines involve Stan's on-again, off-again relationship with Wendy Testaburger and his complicated relationship with his father, Randy. While often portrayed as a regular fourth-grader, Stan frequently confronts complex adult themes and societal issues alongside his friends.
