Marcel Buysse, born at Wontergem on 11 November 1889 and died at Ghent on 3 October 1939, was a Belgian racing cyclist. After finishing fourth in the 1912 Tour de France he led the general classification for two days until a broken handlebar cost him dearly. In 1913 he won six stages of the Tour de France but could finish only third overall, 3 hours 30 minutes and 55 seconds behind Philippe Thys. He also finished third in the 1919 Giro d'Italia. He was the brother of Jules Buysse and of the Tour de France winner Lucien Buysse, and the father of the cyclists Norbert Buysse and Albert Buysse.
