Jürgen Marcus (born Jürgen Beumer, 6 June 1948 in Herne, North Rhine-Westphalia) is a German schlager singer who was most successful during the 1970s, when he had 14 chart hits in Germany. He is also known for his participation on behalf of Luxembourg in the 1976 Eurovision Song Contest.

Marcus was signed to a recording contract in 1970 and his single releases became popular almost immediately. His first charting single came in the same year, and he subsequently enjoyed three consecutive top 10 hits in 1972-73, including the highest-charting single of his career, "Eine neue Liebe ist wie ein neues Leben", which peaked at #2. He was a regular on German TV music shows, and in 1972 appeared in a film, Heut hau'n wir auf die Pauke.

In 1975, Marcus took part in the German Eurovision selection with the song "Ein Lied zieht hinaus in die Welt". Although the song only managed to place ninth, it went on to become a top 3 hit and the last top 20 entry of his career.

Luxembourgian broadcaster RTL almost invariably chose their Eurovision entry by internal selection. Unusually in 1976, however, they organised a five song final in which Marcus participated with "Chansons pour ceux qui s'aiment" ("Songs For Those Who Love Each Other"). He won the selection, so went forward to the 21st Eurovision Song Contest which was held on 3 April in The Hague, where "Chansons pour ceux qui s'aiment" fared less well than expected, placing 14th of the 18 entries.
