Angelino Dulcert (fl. 1339), probably also the same person known as Angelino Dalorto,[1] was a Mallorcan mapmaker whose portolan is the first known to have been produced in Palma, in 1339.

The portolan's keys and legends are written in Latin, and it contains features not usually found on Genoese or Venetian portolans.[2] It also gives the first recorded name of the island of Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands, as Insula de Lanzarotus Marocelus, a reference to the Genoese navigator Lancelotto Malocello.
