Margaret of Foix-Candale (, 1473, – Castres, 9 September 1536), was Marchioness of Saluzzo by marriage to Ludovico II. She acted as regent of the Marquisate of Saluzzo during the minority of her son Michele Antonio in 1504-1526.

Life

Margaret was the youngest daughter of John de Foix, 1st Earl of Kendal and Margaret Kerdeston.

In 1492 she married Louis II Margrave of Saluzzo. Marchioness Margaret accompanied her niece Queen Anna of Foix-Candale in 1502 from Saluzzo to Venice in the wedding tour from France to Hungary, when Queen Anna visited her paternal relatives in Saluzzo. During her second pregnancy, Queen Anna asked her aunt, Margaret to come to Buda in 1506.

The Marchioness after her husband's death acted as a regent of Marquisate of Saluzzo in the name of her first-born son, Michele Antonio. Her four surviving sons all inherited the marquisate in the order of primogeniture.
