Robert Marcel Lepage (born 5 July 1951) is a Canadian musician and film score composer.

Born in Montreal, Lepage trained in music at the age of 20, and learned to play the clarinet and saxophone.[1] He performed with René Lussier and Pierre Hébert during the 1980s and 1990s.[1]

He went on to write the scores for 150 films.[1] He was nominated for the Genie Award for Best Score and the Jutra Award for Best Music for the 2008 film The Necessities of Life.[2][3] Marc-André Lussier of La Presse positively reviewed Lepage's score for Iqaluit (2016) as "lyrical".[4] In 2017, Lepage also received a Prix Iris nomination for Best Music for Before the Streets.[5]

In his personal life, he has three children, Félix; Étienne Lepage, a playwright; and Florence, an artist.[1]
