Fabien Barcella (born 27 October 1983)[2] is a French former professional rugby union player who played as a prop.

In 2008 French coach Marc Lievremont sprung a surprise when he called up Barcella for the 2008 Six Nations Championship match against Italy at the Stade de France.

During the 2009 Six Nations Championship, he was in competition with Sale prop Lionel Faure for the starting job, which he obtained, making big performances.

He was later called for test matches against New Zealand and Australia in June, where he made a number of standout performances.

Barcella is often seen as one of the best loose head props in the world, his ability to destroy his opposite number in the scrum and cause havoc around the pitch with his brute aggression often sets him apart from his peers.
