Marcel (II) from the kindred Tétény (Hungarian: Tétény nembeli (II) Marcell; died after 1233) was a Hungarian influential lord in the Kingdom of Hungary, who served as Judge royal three times during the reign of Andrew II of Hungary.
Marcel II belonged to the gens Tétény as the eldest son of Marcel I. He had no children. His brothers were Peter I, who functioned as Judge royal for the Queen from 1229 to 1230, and Abraham, who was ispán of Vas County (1233) and Sopron County (1235). Among the three brothers, only Peter I had known descendants.
In contemporary records, Marcel was first mentioned as ispán of Sopron County in 1206. After that he served as ispán of Csanád County between 1206 and 1207. He was replaced by Peter, son of Töre. In 1207, he appeared in charters as Judge royal at the first time; perhaps he already held that position since 1206. Following that he functioned as ispán of Bihar County in 1208. He was head of Sopron County again from 1208 till 1209. According to royal charters, he governed Bács County between 1209 and 1210., and Nyitra County for a short time in 1210.
Marcel participated in King Andrew's royal campaign against the Principality of Halych in 1211. He was appointed Judge royal for the second time in 1211 and held the office until the next year. Beside that he also functioned as ispán of Keve County between 1211 and 1212. Two years later, in 1214, he again served as Judge royal for the third and final time. He was also head of Csanád County during that time. Marcel's lands and estates were laying mostly south to the Drava River.
