Humbert of Maroilles (d. ca. 680) was a Frankish monk, abbot, and saint. He founded Maroilles Abbey. He was born at Mézières-sur-Oise in the early 600's. His parents were Blessed Evrard and Popita.

He became a Benedictine monk in Laon and a disciple of St. Amandus.[2] Humbert was a friend of Aldegundis.[3]

In the year 652 he co-founded and became the first abbot of a monastery at Maroilles.[4] Buildings of this monastery are still present there, although the abbey was ruined in the course of the French Revolution.[5] Saint Curcodomus succeeded him as abbot.[6]
