Marcus Caecilius Metellus was a name used by some men of the gens Caecilia during the Roman Republic, including:

  • Marcus Caecilius Metellus, a praetor in 206 BC.
  • Marcus Caecilius Metellus, a consul in 115 BC.
  • Marcus Caecilius Metellus, a praetor in 69 BC who presided over the quaestio de repetundis, a standing tribunal of senatorial iudices (juror-judges) for investigating and deciding cases of extortion. Verres, who was prosecuted by Cicero, had hoped to have his trial postponed until Caecilius Metellus was presiding over the court.
  • Marcus was less frequent as a praenomen for the Caecilii Metelli than Lucius or especially Quintus.
