Marieve Herington (born February 22, 1988 in Oakville, Ontario) is a Canadian-American actress, voice actress, and singer. She is sometimes credited as Lindsay Torrance.
Marieve Herington started her career at the age of 9 with appearances in Ontario commercials for Canadian Tire and KFC. She mostly did various Canadian animated shows produced in Toronto early in her career, with lead roles in Decode Entertainment's 2005 series Delilah & Julius and Nelvana's 2009 show Pearlie, but also made a few minor appearances in live-action Canadian shows. She really started to break out in the 2010s, as like fellow formerly Canada-based VAs Tara Strong, Cree Summer, Morgan Hallett, and Katie Crown, she started to shed off the Only So Many Canadian Actors niche. While she made appearances in anime dubs and video games, as well as a few minor roles in American animated movies and some more live-action shows, her Star-Making Roles ultimately proved to in the English dub of the 2016 Japanese series Love Live! and Disney Television Animation's 2018 series Big City Greens.
Marieve Herington also has a significant career in music, having been singing on stage since she was 12. She has fronted several Jazz ensembles, and currently leads her own band called The Marieve Herington Band. She's even released a few albums! She also performed the theme songs for CBC's Sesame Park (a Canadian adaptation of Sesame Street), Nelvana's 1997 Animated Adaptation of Pippi Longstocking, and TVOntario's Marigold's Mathemagics.

Her roles provide examples of:
- Actor Allusion: In the English dub of Hunter × Hunter, Herington, who is no stranger to voicing manipulative gamblers with large pigtails, voices Leroute.
- Celebrity Voice Actor: In the English dub of Love Live!, Herington (who also had a role in How I Met Your Mother) voices Honoka Kousaka.
- Irony as She Is Cast: Celestia Ludenberg of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, an obviously Japanese girl who claims to be European, speaks with an affected French accent in the English dub (that quickly disappears whenever she gets angry and reappears just as quickly afterwards). Herington is French-Canadian.
- The Other Darrin:
- Season two of Miraculous Ladybug replaces Herington as Sabrina, with Cassandra Lee Morris.
- Because Herington was too busy to reprise her role as Tatsumaki (Tornado of Terror) in the second season's dub of One-Punch Man, the role went to Corina Boettger instead.
- She Darrined for Sophie Lang as the voice of Otter on Franklin for "Franklin and Otter's Visit".
- Playing Against Type: Herington is usually known for voicing cute and dorky characters like Tilly Green and Honoka Kousaka, so seeing her as the no-nonsense Action Girl Delilah Devonshire in Delilah & Julius is surprising.
- Star-Making Role: She used to be a pretty obscure voice actress, but gained a lot more recognition after voicing Honoka Kousaka from Love Live! and Tilly Green from Big City Greens.
- Written by Cast Member: In addition to voicing Tilly Green, Herington co-wrote the episode "Present Tense" for Big City Greens.
