Marco Dall'Aquila (c.1480 – after 1538) was a Venetian lutenist and composer known for musical forms called polyphonic ricercars.{{cite book |title=The Harvard concise dictionary of music and musicians|url=https://archive.org/details/harvardconcisedi00donm_0|url-access=registration|author=Randel, Don Michael|year=1999|publisher=Harvard University Press |isbn=9780674000841 }} He was born in L'Aquila but lived and worked in Venice.{{citation |url=http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/marco-dall-aquila_(Dizionario-Biografico)|title=Marco Dall'Aquila|accessdate=26 June 2014}} He often performed at concerts in the houses of nobles in the city, and in 1505 he published Tabullatura et rasone de metter ogni canto in liuto.{{cite book |title=Venice: its individual growth from the earliest beginnings to the fall: Volume 4|page=37|author=Molmenti|year=1907}}
On 11 March 1505, Dall'Aquila also received a grant for a petition where he claimed to have developed a method of printing tablature which he could use to score any lute composition into tablature. In the petition for the grant, he also asked for a ban on other printing methods and imports of music scored by other methods, and for a portion of penalties paid for infringement. However, no printed editions demonstrating his method survive.{{cite book |title=Ottaviano Petrucci: catalogue raisonné|authorlink1=Stanley Boorman|author=Boorman, Stanley|year=2006}}
