Jean-Paul-André des Razins, marquis de Saint-Marc, (29 November 1728 – 11 September 1818) was an 18th-century French playwright and librettist.

He wrote several opéra comique librettos and numerous pieces of fleeting poetry.

Voltaire, receive the crown That one just presented to you; It is beautiful to deserve it, When it is France who gives it!
