Marcus Fabius Buteo (died around 210 BC-209 BC) was a Roman politician during the 3rd century BC. He served as consul and as censor, and in 216 BC, being the oldest living ex-censor, he was appointed dictator, legendo senatui, for the purpose of filling vacancies in the senate after the Battle of Cannae. He was appointed by the consul Varro, and, with M. Junius Pera, he was the only dictator to serve a simultaneous term with another. He resigned from the post immediately after he revised the censors' lists and enrolled the new senate members.
He died around 210 BC to 209 BC because the censor Tuditanus chose his kinsman Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucoses Cunctator Princeps Senatus.
