Marguerite Yourcenar, egentligen Marguerite Antoinette Jeanne Marie Ghislane Cleenewerck de Crayencour, född 8 juni 1903 i Bryssel, död 17 december 1987 på i Maine, USA, var en fransk författare. Yourcenar blev främst känd för historiska romaner med mycket avvägt och estetiskt språk. Hennes mest berömda verk är Hadrianus minnen (Mémoires d'Hadrien) från 1951. Den litterära produktionen sträckte sig dock över många ämnesområden. Yourcenar bosatte sig i USA 1939. Hon valdes in i 1970 och som första kvinna i Franska akademien 1981. 1965 nominerades hon till Nobelpriset i litteratur.
