A memorial tablet was installed on 3 November 2005 in front of School #9 in [[Perm, Russia|Perm]] in Russia.<ref name="rfn.ru"/> It consists of a stone base, irregular in form, about two metres long, and bearing a dark stone plate with the following inscription (in Russian):
{{blockquote|
To Roderick Impey Murchison, Scottish geologist, explorer of [[Perm Krai]],
who gave to the last period of the Paleozoic era the name of Permian.
}}
The decision to perpetuate the explorer's name was accepted by the school administration and pupils in connection with a discussion to establish in Perm a pillar or an arch devoted to Roderick Murchison.

In 2009, the Ural-Scottish Society erected a memorial to Murchison on the banks of the [[Chusovaya River]].<ref name="Telegraph2009"/> There is a commemorative [[blue plaque]] on his residence at 21 Galgate in [[Barnard Castle]] (County Durham).

A fictionalised version of Murchison appears in the 2020 film [[Ammonite (film)|Ammonite]]. He is played by [[James McArdle]].
