Johannes Cuvelier (fl c. 1372–d. after 1387) was a composer of the ars subtilior, whose surviving works are preserved in the Chantilly Codex.[1] He was possibly born in Tournai and worked at the court of Charles V.[2][3]

• Se Genevre, Tristan, Yssout, Helaine
• En la saison que toute riens encline
• The Song of Bertrand du Guesclin, ed. and trans. Nigel Bryant, Boydell and Brewer, 2019.
