Marco Marcato (born 11 February 1984, in San Donà di Piave, Veneto) is an Italian racing cyclist currently riding for the UAE Team Emirates team. He is a previous winner of the Tour de Vendée in 2011, and Paris–Tours in 2012.
For the 2014 season, Marcato joined Cannondale, after his previous team – Vacansoleil–DCM – folded at the end of the 2013 season. Subsequently, Wanty–Groupe Gobert signed Marcato on a two-year contract from 2015, reuniting him with former Vacansoleil boss Hilaire Vanderschueren, and sharing leadership of the team in the Flemish classics with former Vacansoleil team-mate Björn Leukemans. In September 2016 it was announced that Marcato would join UAE Abu Dhabi for the 2017 season.
