Marlon Brando's Corset is a dark comedy play by Guy Jones, which takes a sideswipe at celebrity culture and the obsession with stardom and fame. The play premiered at the 2006 Edinburgh Festival Fringe and embarked on a UK tour thereafter.

The action takes place on the set of a (fictional) long-running TV series called Healing Hands, a medical drama in the vein of BBC's Casualty, and centres around the show's writer, Nick Chase, and his tussles with the show's star Will Swift and director Alex.

The cast includes Les Dennis, Mike McShane, Jeremy Edwards and Jim Field Smith.
