The best definition is: "the additional income gained from selling an additional good."

Formally, marginal revenue (MR) = ΔTotal Revenue / ΔQuantity (often = revenue change from one more unit). Note: in perfect competition MR = price; in a monopoly MR < price because selling an extra unit usually requires lowering price.
