Prudentius Maran (14 October 1683, at Sezanne, Marne – 2 April 1762, at Paris) was a French Benedictine scholar of the Maurist Congregation, known as a patrologist.
He was then sent to Saint-Germain-des-Prés to collaborate with his confrere Antoine-Augustin Touttée in the edition of the works of Cyril of Jerusalem.
His knowledge of theology and patristics is attested by the introductions which he prefixed to his critical editions of Greek and Latin Fathers, as well as by other works.
His masterpiece is the edition of the works of Justin Martyr: Justini philos.
et martyris opera quae extant omnia necnon Tatiani, Athenagorae S. Theophili, Hermiae.
