Ars Musicae de Barcelona was a Catalan ensemble for the performance of medieval music active between 1935 and 1979.

The directors were:

 * Enric Gispert (1957–1972); a choral conductor.
 * Romà Escalas Llimona (1972–1979); director of the Museu de la Música de Barcelonafrom 1981 to 2011.

Victoria de Los Angeles had a long association with the group, and her earliest surviving recording (from 1942) is with Lamaña. Jordi Savall and Montserrat Figueras both performed early in their careers with Ars Musicae of Barcelona while it was directed by Gispert.
