The Ivrea Codex (Ivrea, Biblioteca Capitolare, 115) is a manuscript containing a significant body of 14th century French polyphonic music.

The codex contains motets, mass movements, and a handful of virelais, chaces, and ballades, composed in the middle of the 14th century. It was likely compiled in the 1370s, in Avignon. The notation is characteristic of the Ars Nova period.

All of the music in the codex is anonymous, but some attributions have been made to Philippe de Vitry, Guillaume de Machaut, Magister Heinricus, Bararipton, Depansis, Matheus de Sancto Johanne, Chipre, Orles, Sortes, and Loys.
