Marisa Dick (born 26 May 1997) is a Trinidad and Tobago female artistic gymnast, representing her nation at international competitions. She competed at world championships, including the 2013 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp, Belgium.[1] At the 2016 Gymnastics Olympic Test Event in April 2016 she qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

The gymnast has a signature move, called "The Dick." The Dick is a balance beam skill officially recognized in the Code of Points by the Federation Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG). Using a springboard to jump into the air, the gymnast lands on the beam in a perfect split to begin the routine. The move made its official debut at the world gymnastics competition held in Glasgow, Scotland.
