Marchois (French pronunciation: [maʁʃwa]) or Marchese (marchés in Occitan) is a transitional Occitan dialect between the Occitan language and the Oïl languages spoken in the historical region of La Marche, in northern Limousin and its region. Occitan and Oïl dialects meet there.

It covers the north-western borders of the Massif Central and forms the western part of the dialects of the Croissant which goes from Charente limousine to Montluçon.
