Marcigny () is a commune in the Saône-et-Loire department in the region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté in eastern France.
==History== Marcigny was the site of the first Cluniac monastery of women, founded in 1056. St Anselm was unsuccessful in attempting to recruit his sister Richeza to enter there after the death of her husband amid the First Crusade. Adela of Normandy, Countess of Blois, mother of King Stephen of England, took religious vows as a nun of this monastery after retiring from public life and died here in 1137.
