thumb|Marcouf giving the cure to the king. Marculf (in French Marcoult, Marcouf, Marcoul or Marcou) (d. 558) was the abbot at Nantus in the Cotentin. He is regarded as a saint and is associated with the healing of scrofula.

==Life== Marculf was born in the Saxon colony of Bayeux around AD 500. The accounts of his life are merged with that of Saint Helier, whom he sent to convert the inhabitants of Jersey to Christianity. Marcouf also visited Jersey himself, where miracles are ascribed to him.
