Marcellino d'Atri (born Marcellino Canzani; 3 June 1659 – 12 February 1716) was a Capuchin missionary from Atri in the Kingdom of Naples who spent several years in the Kingdom of Kongo. His memoirs give much valuable information about the region around the end of the 17th century, although they betray the typical prejudices about Africans of a European at the time.
