Penn's Marionettes was a 19th century company of marionette artists.

A company founded and managed by Henry Penn, that is mentioned by F.C.L. Bosman (1980, p. 188) as performing as part of a "Faney Fair" in celebration of the marriage of the Prince of Wales in Cape Town on 15 May 1863, and later in June in a performance for a "select audience" in a schoolroom in Caledon Street.
