Marthe Blackburn, née Morisset (1916 - 1991) was a Canadian screenwriter from Quebec.[1] A television writer for Radio-Canada and later a film writer for the National Film Board of Canada, she was most noted for her collaborations with director Anne Claire Poirier.[2] Blackburn and Poirier were Genie Award nominees for Best Original Screenplay at the 1st Genie Awards in 1980 for A Scream from Silence (Mourir à tue-tête).[3]

She was the author of "Le retour de l’âge", a short theatrical piece which was part of the collaborative feminist theatre work La nef des sorcières alongside pieces by Luce Guilbeault, France Théoret, Odette Gagnon, Marie-Claire Blais, Pol Pelletier and Nicole Brossard.[4] She was one of the co-directors of the documentary film À qui appartient ce gage?, and had a small acting role in the 1980 film Cordélia.

She was married to composer Maurice Blackburn, with whom she collaborated on the libretto for his opera Une mesure de silence,[5] and was the mother of science fiction writer Esther Rochon.[6]
