Umar Marvi or Marui (Sindhi: عمر مارئي) is a story of a village girl Marvi who resists the overtures of a powerful King and the temptation to live in the palace as a queen, and prefers to be in simple rural environment with her own village folk.

The story also appears in Shah Jo Risalo and forms part of seven popular tragic romances from Sindh, Pakistan. The other six tales are Sassui Punhun, Sohni Mehar, Lilan Chanesar, Noori Jam Tamachi, Sorath Rai Diyach and Momal Rano commonly known as Seven heroines (Sindhi: ست سورميون) of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai.
