In February 1933, Chico, Groucho, Harpo, and Zeppo Marx were invited to place their handprints and signatures in cement in the forecourt of [[Grauman's Chinese Theatre]] in Hollywood. This honor, typically reserved for the most significant figures in the film industry, recognized their rapid rise to prominence in cinema following their successful transition from Broadway.

In the [[46th Academy Awards|1974 Academy Awards telecast]], [[Jack Lemmon]] presented Groucho with an honorary [[Academy Award]] to a standing ovation. The award was also on behalf of Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo, whom Lemmon mentioned by name. It was one of Groucho's final major public appearances. "I wish that Harpo and Chico could be here to share with me this great honor", he said, naming the two deceased brothers (Zeppo was still alive at the time and in the audience). Groucho also praised the late [[Margaret Dumont]] as a great straight woman who never understood any of his jokes.

On January 16, 1977, the Marx Brothers were inducted into the Motion Picture Hall of Fame. 

In 1999, the [[American Film Institute]] included the Marx Brothers on their list of [[AFI's 100 Years...100 Stars|Top 25 American male screen legends]], naming them collectively as No. 20 on the list of the top 25 American male screen legends of Classic Hollywood cinema. This distinction is particularly notable as they are the only group to be honored on this list, which otherwise exclusively recognized individual performers.

The Library of Congress has included two Marx Brothers films in the National Film Registry for their "cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance." "Duck Soup" was selected in 1990 and "A Night at the Opera" in 1993.<ref>{{cite web |title=Complete National Film Registry Listing |url=https://www.loc.gov/programs/national-film-preservation-board/film-registry/complete-national-film-registry-listing |website=Library of Congress |access-date=25 April 2025}}</ref>
