Marcus Christensen Humble (born 1601 , died 1661 ) was superintendent of Stavanger from 1655 until his death. He was the son of a parish priest in Humble on Langeland , Denmark, Christen Pedersen (died 1624) and Maren Gregersdatter.

In 1629 he was appointed parish priest for Karleby and Horreby in Falster . In 1641 he became a master . Then he was ordained a clergyman at the consulate in Osnabrü ck . As this was a temporary job, he did not resign from Falster. In 1650 he was transferred to the large parish called Faarevejle in Ods herred .

In 1655 he became bishop of Stavanger, but died as early as April 8, 1661.

He must have been a skilled and learned man. We know of one writing of which he was the author. It was "The Perfect Life of True Faith". It was published in 1646, and with a new edition in 1754.
