Substitute Faris Moumbagna scored the only goal of the second leg after 79 minutes to take the tie to extra time with the aggregate score level at 2-2.
Marseille scored all of their penalties while Angel di Maria and Antonio Silva missed for Benfica.
The French side will take on Atalanta – who beat Liverpool – in the last four.
Having come into Thursday’s second leg trailing 2-1, Jean Louis Gasset’s side started on the front foot.
With the clock ticking down, Benfica looked to hold on to their slender lead but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang created an opportunity for Moumbagna to convert.
And in the shootout, the Stade Velodrome erupted as Luis Henrique slotted his penalty to send Marseille through.
