Lucie Frederica Marguerite "Meg" de Paul de Saint-Marceaux (née Jourdain; 9 May 1850 – 23 February 1930), formerly Baugnies, was a French salonnière, arts patron, diarist, and amateur pianist and opera singer. She was celebrated for her salons, where she hosted intellectual and artistic masters including Marcel Proust, Colette, Giovanni Boldini, Maurice Ravel, Isadora Duncan, and Gabriel Fauré. A number of musical works were premiered at her salons, including excerpts of Claude Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande and Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune and Fauré's Mandoline from Cinq mélodies "de Venise". Fauré, who was a close friend of de Saint-Marceaux, dedicated two of his works, Trois mélodies, Op. 7 and Nocturne No. 1 in E♭ minor, Op. 33/1, to her. In 1903, she was hired by Alfred Cortot to sing in the choir for Richard Wagner's Parsifal at the Société des Concerts.
