thumb|A miniature portrait of Marcabru beside his vida in a 13th-century chansonnier. Marcabru (; fl. 1130–1150) is one of the earliest troubadours whose poems are known. There is no certain information about him; the two vidas attached to his poems tell different stories, and both are evidently built on hints in the poems; not on independent information.
