He often wrote 8 line stanzas (octets) with iambic tetrameter meter and composed of 4 rhyming couplets (aabbccdd) (see The Unfortunate Lover, The Gallery, Damon the Mower, Upon Appleton House, Upon the Hill and Grove at Bilbrough). But he doesn't have a particular stanza named after him as far as I know.

The Marvellian stanza is a specific form of meter and rhyme used by the poet Andrew Marvell. It consists of four lines (quatrains) with an ABAB rhyme scheme and iambic tetrameter meter. This stanza form is often seen in Marvell's poems, including "To His Coy Mistress."
