Macer Pompeius the Tragedian (Μάκερ Πομπήιος ὁ τραγικός) was a Hellenistic author of the 1st century BCE. His name implies a potential link to the Roman gens Pompeia, but no biographical details—including his geography, background, or associations—are recorded.

No specific works by Macer Pompeius survive or are detailed in extant sources. He is identified as a writer of tragedy, employing the Koine dialect in verse, but the title and subject of his single attributed work are unknown.

His historical and literary significance remains indeterminate due to the complete absence of testimonia or fragments.
