The Leeds-born rider leaves the sport as a reigning Olympic champion after winning gold in the women's team sprint at Paris 2024 alongside Emma Finucane and Sophie Capewell.
Marchant also won individual sprint bronze at the Rio 2016 Games and claimed both world and European titles in 2024.
The mother of two decided to retire following the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, opting against continuing through to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
She paved the way for mothers in track sprinting by successfully returning to elite competition after the births of her two sons.
