Marcantonio Bulgaris (Greek: Μαρκος - Αντωνιος Μπουλγαρις). Russian Diplomat.

Marcantonio was born in Corfu, June 13th, 1787, and died October 29th, 1829 in St. Petersburg. He was a son of Nikolaos Bulgaris (Russian Inspector In Corfu 1799) and Eufrosini Kalogeras.

When Kapodistrias became the head of the Greek Government, Marcantonio Bulgaris was serving as Russian Ambassador to Madrid. That year, he was appointed by the Tsar Ambassador to Greece and he settled in Greece.

Bulgari, while he was an Ambassador, worked very hard to persuade other Governments to recognize Greece as an independent country.

He died in St Petersburg at the age of only 42 years old.
