Maculphe (also known as Malulfus or Mallulf) was a 6th-century bishop of the former diocese of Senlis.

He is mentioned once in the History of the Franks by Gregory of Tours. Gregory claimed that when king Chilperic I was assassinated, he was deserted by his people who had no love for him; however, when Maculphe heard of the king's death, Maculphe set out to take the king's body and had it buried in the Church of Saint Vincent in Paris.[1]

He died in 584. He is celebrated as a saint in the Catholic church with his feast day on 4 May.[2]
