Uc Brunet, Brunec, or Brunenc (, ; fl. 1190–1220) was a nobleman and troubadour from Rodez in the Rouergue. Six of his works survive. From this background he became a jongleur and then a troubadour, but he never, according to his vida, composed any music. It is the only work of Uc's to survive with a melody. The melody is melismatic and tonal with its centre generally on F, though it ends on D.
