The Atlantic blue marlin (Makaira nigricans) is a species of marlin. It is a large commercial game fish with a maximum published weight of 820 kg (1,800 lb) and a maximum total length of 5 m (16 ft 3 in). Its massive size makes it one of the largest bony fish species in the world. Its body is blue-black above, and a silvery white underside.

Atlantic blue marlins primarily feed on other fish and cephalopods.

The status of the Indo-Pacific blue marlin (Makaira mazara) as a separate species is subject to some debate.

The Atlantic blue marlin is the national fish of The Bahamas.
