Marcus Aemilius Scaurus (c. 159 – c. 89 BC) was a Roman statesman who served as consul in 115 BC.^[2] He was also a long-standing princeps senatus, occupying the post from 115^[3] until his death in late 89 or early 88 BC,^[1] and as such was widely considered one of the most prestigious and influential politicians of the late Republic.

After his consulship, Scaurus wrote De vita sua, which was probably the first autobiography in Roman history.^[4]
