Very few commercial margarines are vegan. Most of them have whey or milk solids, etc.
Land O' Lakes *Unsalted* Margarine is vegan. You can find it in most grocery stores. Health food stores carry a variety of vegan alternatives made of soy, canola, etc.
Earth Balance margarine is a commonly recommended vegan margarine that has a great flavor.
I bought a margarine once assuming that all margarines are at least vegetarian--when I looked at the label I was horrified. The main ingredient was lard. Gross. Be sure to check the ingredients on the label!!!
Look for the word "vegan" on the packaging. This will help in some cases where ingredients can be sourced both from animal or plant. Also look for "Lactose Free" on the label as this sometimes indicates lack of milk, but read the ingredients for other potential sources of animal sourced material. (Lactose free does not indicate vegan, only that there is no lactose which normally is included in the milk products included in margarine.) Read the ingredients, never assume.
Most margarines are made from oils from canola, soybean, sunflower and safflower.
Vegans can't eat most margarines as they have some sort of dairy product, such as whey or sodium caseinate.
Earth Balance, Blue Bonnet light, and Nuccoa are a few margarines which are completely vegan.
If you wish to keep vegan, then no, because butter is made of an animal by-product, milk. If you are looking for a replacement without regard to ethical or dietary restrictions, then yes, butter could be a replacement.
Not remotely: butter is an animal product, and anything vegan, by definition, does not contain any animal product. All margarines are essentially vegan because they are made out of vegetable oil.
Most margarines are made from vegetable oil, but many contain trace amounts of dairy products such as whey or lactose. There are a few brands that don't, including Blue Bonnet Light Margarine, Smart Balance Light Margarine, and Earth Balance. If you want to be sure that the margarine you're using is 100% vegan, you may want to use a product that is specifically marketed as a vegan non-dairy spread.
Many vegans prefer Earth Balance brand. Besides being vegan, it is also gluten-free, non-GMO, and, unlike most margarines, it has no hydrogenated oils. As a vegan product, Earth Balance is also naturally cholesterol-free.

Why might a vegetarian not eat margarine?
Maybe because of the milk Actually Margarine is milkfree however Margarine is one molecule short of being PLASTIC Margarines are not made from milk as is butter. They are made from oil that is industrially manipulated into a buttery-tasting spread. I once read somewhere that a tub of margarine was placed in the woods and when they went back to get it a year later, the animals hadn't touched it. Much to everyone's surprise, not even the bugs would eat it. Could it be that even insects know what is food and what is not?
