Martin Berteau (c. 1700? in Valenciennes – c. 1770? in Angers) was a French cellist, cello teacher, and composer. He is widely regarded as the founder of the French school of cello playing. Descriptions of Berteau's life are often unreliable and exaggerated. As a result, little is certain about his life. He probably studied viola da gamba in Germany with Bohemian, Kozecz. J.-F. Fétis, who wrote a Biographie universelle des musiciens (1835-1844) and said that Berteau made his debut on the cello
