Sir Marcus Lawrence Loane, KBE (14 October 1911 – 14 April 2009) was an Australian Anglican bishop. He was the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney from 1966 to 1982 and Primate of Australia from 1978 to 1982. He was the first Australian-born Archbishop of Sydney and also the first Australian-born archbishop in the Anglican Church of Australia. He was a prolific author and his works include several biographies.
Loane was born on 14 October 1911 in Tasmania. His family moved to north Queensland, then to Sydney. He studied at the University of Sydney. He then entered Moore Theological College, an Anglican conservative evangelical seminary, to train for ordination.
In 1935, Loane was ordained in the Church of England in Australia (the church was renamed the Anglican Church of Australia in 1981). He spent nearly all his ministry in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney except for two years during World War II as an army chaplain in New Guinea. After the war he was appointed vice-principal and then principal of Moore Theological College. In 1958, he was appointed a coadjutor (assistant) bishop in the diocese.
