The Llibre Vermell de Montserrat (Catalan for "Red Book of Montserrat") is a collection of late medieval songs. The 14th century manuscript was located at the monastery of Montserrat outside Barcelona in Catalonia.

The ten anonymous songs in the collection that survive are divided in three genres:

  • 3 canons
  • 2 polyphonic chants
  • 5 danses
