Louis Grabu, Grabut or Grebus was a French composer and violinist.

Charles II of England appointed him as a composer in 1665, and with the death of Nicholas Lanier in 1666 he became the second person to hold the title Master of the King's Musick. He adapted Robert Cambert[?]'s opera Ariadne for a London performance in 1674, and wrote music for John Dryden's Albion and Albanius in 1685.
