Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien is a 1911 incidental music score by French composer Claude Debussy for a staged religious drama. The work is a large-scale theatrical composition from Debussy's later period that employs rich orchestral colour, modal and whole-tone harmonies and substantial choral and solo vocal writing, reflecting symbolist and religious influences in early 20th-century music.
