Marcello Sparzo (c. 16th century—1616) was an Italian sculptor of the 17th century, renowned particularly as a master plasterer.
Considered by his contemporaries as one of the foremost plastic artists and sculptors of the period,[3][4][5][6][7] he was among the early users of marble plaster in monumental colossal works,[5][8][9] displaying an original stylistic language and refined execution skills.[10] He worked notably in Genoa, Urbino, Turin, Siena, and Pavia,[3] and was also an innovator in chromatic experiments, for instance, in the presbytery of the Church of San Pietro in Banchi, the nave of the Church of San Rocco, and the Villa of the Prince in Genoa.[11]

Federigo Alizeri sottolineava efficacemente il superamento sperimentale, introdotto da Sparzo, dei confini finora imposti allo stucco: la "plastica, usata in addietro a fregiar pareti o a recinger pitture, tentava per lui d'emulare la statua e competere co' marmi, dimentica quasi, o sdegnosa della propria fragilità"
