Messallinus av Valerii, född -36 i Roma, Lazio, Italien, död 25 i Roma, Lazio, Italien. Consul of the Roman Empire in 3 BC.

Marcus Valerius Messalla Messallinus was a Roman Senator who had a distinguished career.

In 21 BC Messallinus was chosen as one of the Priests in charge of the Sibylline Books. He served as a consul in 3 BC.In 6, Messallinus served as a Governor in Illyricum.

During his time in Illyricum, he served with Tiberius with distinction in a campaign against the Pannonians and Dalmatians in the uprising of the Great Illyrian Revolt with the Legio XX Valeria Victrix. Messallinus with the half-filled Legio XX Valeria Victrix, defeated the Pannonii led by Bato the Daesitiate and prevented spread of the uprising.

For his defeat over Bato, Messallinus was rewarded with a triumphal decoration (ornamenta triumphalia) and a place in the procession during Tiberius’ Pannonian triumph in 12, four years after the death of his father.

Messallinus suggested to Roman emperor Tiberius an oath of allegiance should be sworn to him yearly. He also suggested two golden statues be placed in two temples, in celebration of Rome's foreign victories and in memory of Germanicus, which Tiberius rejected.

The Latin Poem Tibullus in his Elegy 2.5, celebrates the induction of Messallinus in the priestly college in charge of the Sibylline Books in 21 BC and also predicts a future triumph for the then young Messallinus as he imagines his father proudly witnessing the event (Elegy 2.5.119-20):

Then let my Messalla sponsor entertainment for the crowd.and, as father, applaud when the chariot passes by.

In 13 BC, the Latin Poem Ovid published a three-book collection titled Epistulae ex Ponto (Letters from the Black Sea) also in elegiacs but addressed to named individuals, among them is Messallinus (1.7, 2.2). He is also addressed in Ovid’s Tristia (4.4).[17]

According to the French Historian Christian Settipani, Messallinus married the Claudia Marcella Minor, one of the nieces of the Roman emperor Augustus.[Marcella bore Messallinus a daughter called Valeria Messalla born ca. 10 BC, who later married the praetor of 17, Lucius Vipstanus Gallus.
