Muzio Febonio (13 July 1597 – 3 January 1663) was an Italian priest and historian, best known for his historical and agiographic works about Marsica, the Abruzzo sub-region where he was born.
In his writings he made extensive use of archive documents and historiographic and archaeological sources, showing a deep knowledge of them, although in a somewhat formal and pedantic style.
However, his works represent a valuable source of information for later historians, even if their publication occurred with a lot of errors and delays, which partly explains the limited fame this author enjoyed.
