Marc Martel (born November 16, 1976, Montreal) is a Canadian singer-songwriter best known for his uncanny vocal resemblance to Freddie Mercury.

Alongside his Queen-related work he maintains a solo career rooted in Christian rock, going back to his 13 years with the Juno Award-winning band Downhere.
Marc Martel released his new studio album MY WAY on April 11, 2025, a 7-track record on Marc Martel Music/The Fuel Music label.
