Do I need an ESTA or Visa as a spouse of a US citizen, traveling from the UK?

So you have two different factors at play, and I'll answer both of them

You're Canadian, traveling on a Canadian passport (visa requirement)

You don't need a visa or ESTA to travel to the US

You are married to a US citizen and both of you are travelling from the UK (COVID-related ban)

Travelers from the UK were banned from entry under PP 10143 even those who don't need a visa for entry

However, the text of the proclamation says that the entry ban doesn't apply to:

(iii) any noncitizen who is the spouse of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident; (You)

As recommended by the US Embassy in the UK, carry documentation to prove your exempt status (marriage certificate) and follow your destination state's requirements for quarantine
